Need Driving lights suggestions to fit into TJM bumper

Looking to fit a pair of driving lights (need to them to be projectors that take h3 bulbos preferably so I can put an HID kit in there). This is going to look similar to the Shrekworks or certain ARB bumpers.

I want a driving not fog pattern, prefer HELLA or PIAA, any suggestions on a good light that will fit into the bumper below the headlights? Prolly no more then 4" in diameter.

Thanks

I already have Hella 500s on top of the bumper.... i'm talking about cutting a hole IN the bumper and sticking a small pair of driving lights aimed low so i can drive with them on all the time in addition to my headlights, in the style of the OEM fogs in the Limiteds.

PIAA's would probably be your best bet then.

I was just thinking you could probably pick up a set of stock Limited fogs of ebay pretty cheap.

You're probably not going to want an H3 light if you plan on going with a HID conversion because the H3 HID's are huge compared to stop h3 bulbs.

ya whitey, i know what you mean....there are short hid h3's but those are worthless. reason i was looking for projectors with h3's is b/c i already have an h3 kit laying around. u can usually fit em into regular lights but projectors work better, but projectors are the ones with shallow "bottom" bulb fittment...ugh, catch 22.

anyone know if the micro de's would take an h3 hid bulb (not the shorty worthless one)? and is there a diff b/t the halogen micros and the hid ones as far as cut off or anything? in other words is there a reason an hid kit will not work right in the halogen ones? the halogen ones are much cheaper.
