Default Auxillary Bumper Light Advise/Recommendations Needed

Trying to research Aux light options for a future AEV premium front bumper purchase. Looking for overall improved lighting whether on the road or trail to compliment the factory headlights & retained fogs. I'm not partial to any particular brand. Total newbie question, but I'm not sure how the Aux lights are even used , switched on once the brights are activated, switched on separately with low beams, switched on independently, etc. If they exist, feel free to link me to any "general Aux light use" threads . All I know is that the factory high & low beams are pathetic & I want to improve it with the bumper light mounts. I might even add some windshield mounted lights at a later time. Many thanks, in advance!

Nice! Is your front bumper E1? Your fog's are PIAA, too? So PIAA would be your recommendation? How do you switch on the additional lights?

Yes Expedition One. I went with Piaa after much research. They are great quality, bright, and have a lifetime warranty. They are plug and play and have mouse style toggles. I wired them to come on with the parking lights

So the window lights are the 520 fogs & the bumper lights the 520 atp's? All 4 come on with the parking lights? Really looks great, thanks!

Atp's on the windshield and ion crystal fog on the bumper. They are hot when parking lights are on but you have to turn on toggle for them to work

I've been happy with my IPFs. I run them on a separate switch.

Started with some 968s I won through a Northridge giveaway a while back then I went to the 900XS. I'm really digging them & the light they throw.

If I was going for LEDs I'd check out Rigid. They're amazingly bright.

Thanks! Are they the driving lights or spots?
