Er, well, you are going to blind them with fogs anyway. I don't ever turn mine on unless I'm the only one on the street. It isn't very respectful to leave them on with oncoming traffic. I have mine aiming slightly up because 99% of the time they are on it is only while on the trail and I want to light everything. Oh, the other 1% is reserved for "notifying" oncoming drivers that they have their fogs on and aimed improperly. it only takes about 1 second of the LightForces and they click theirs off.

actually keisur, if anything, i would want the lights pushed back b/c i dont want the lights to be the first thing that hits the tree/rock/deer/etc, i want the bumper to be the first thing that strikes the object.

Jackson - i went with the Euro beams.

i actually bought these off a guy from the POR board. i got 2 lights, wiring harness, stone covers all new, never mounted/used for $150 shipped. i just couldnt pass on that deal.

wow... that's a hell of a deal Ryan - nice job.

keisur, legal fogs lights don't blind people if they are properly mounted and aimed. My fogs are 55w and aimed and mounted low. They are great in poor weather, and don't blind people (I've tested them myself).

Oh. so maybe don't mount them on the TJM tabs but mount them back on the surface of the bumper.

I see said the blind man. no pun intended . But I don't think the 4000's that RT got are meant for street fogs. That's all I was saying. Just got a little carried away hear because people here in Texas seem to think that their aftermarket fogs are supposed to be pushed back so the lens is parallel to the grill! it gets pretty annoying when they think that it doesn't bother others. I guess your right though, the yellow tinted 55watt fogs don't blind when aimed correctly.
