Jackson,

That looks pretty sweet, so do those give off enough light to withstand a pitchblack night and heavy rain? I get a lot of those out here, especially when my girlfriend lives about 45 minutes away and I go out there every weekend at night and its gonna be raining cats and dogs off and on for months now.

Rig looks awesome by the way!

I ran two sets of Hella 500's on my Jeep, and I would buy no other light, either fog or driving...best out there...but I guess you already got the idea from all the other "Hella praise" responses

I just have to figure out a good way to mount at least one set on my new Taco....for now, they're sitting in the closet waiting impatiently for me to rewire

Dave.

nowhere - the nearest place to wheel that I know of is Paragon in Hazelton, PA. That's where I do 95% of my wheeling.

they go from anywhere from 45 to 70 bucks depending on where you get em. i got em for 40 because they were on sale, but they usually go for around 55.

Can you mount the Optilux into the stock fog lamp openings in the lower bumper?

Thanks.
