Default Sway Bar Disconnects, Head light, & Fog Light recommendations

I need some recommendations for Sway Bar Disconnects as well as Headlights/Fog lights.

For the Sway Bar Disconnects, I have a 3" BDS Lift & 35" MT Tires.
The current ones that I have on there broke (BDS brand), and I'd like to replace them with something sturdier.

As far as Headlights and Foglights...
I wanted to get some that were pretty bright and blueish. But nothing rediculously expensive.

Thanks!

JKS quicker disconnects. Vey beefy and two pins removed and you take them off rather than strap them up. Nice product and adjustable for most lift sizes

I used these for almost two years and liked them very much. They have zerk grease fittings and are easy to keep greased. I could disconnect in less than a minute per side and it would only take longer to reconnect because of all the mud. Haha. I'd always tie wrap my sway bar parallel to the ground (wrapping around the frame) as well...this kept it from moving around on me.

thanks. what about fog lights that fit inside of the original bumper (or in my case, an after market bumper setup)
so...the ones that go inside of the bumper and peek out of the holes.

For the headlights go with DDM Tuning HIDs. I run their HIDs in both my headlights and KC Daylighters. They have great light output and with a lifetime warranty you can't beat them for the price. I had them in my Silverado for 3 years and never had a lick of trouble from them. I've had the ones in my Jeep for just over a year and no troubles at all.
