What would you do with an extra set of foglights?

i have an 04 double cab tacoma. i have a center grill guard with some piaa 520 smr chrome fogs attached. I have an extra set of brand new 520 black smr's. If it were your vehicle where would you put the extra set of fogs on the truck if at all? all opinions and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated.

I once played with the idea of modifying my grill guard to take one set of lights above the mounting bar and one set of lights below...

I'd sell them on Ebay. One set should be sufficient.

You could always mount them on the back of your truck (various places) to help with wheeling in the dark, or unloading the bed when it's dark out...

I wish I had a set back there to help in just those situations.

I was thinking about the same idea to add another set of driving lights. I am afraid that it would draw too much attention.
Secondly, I may not need that much light unless when I do some offroads.

you could find a way to mount them on your roof, or change your grille to mesh and mount them behind the grille.

both of those options are a PITA though...

I mounted mine on the front roof rack cross bar. They are not wired up yet but I will get around to that one day.

Donate them to me, I'll find something to do with them. Since they are fog lights, maybe you could mount them up top on the roof rack in the back for a set of backup lights.

you can never have too many lights. Find a way to mount them on the back of your rig as backup lights.

If you were to sell them, I might be willing to buy them.

Mount them inside your cab. They will make good dome lamps for map reading.

Some bright reverse lamps would work for me.

Since they're PIAAs I don't know if I'd put them in the back - seems like a waste to me when $10 tractor lights do the job just as well...

Just my opinion...
