Possible cheap fog light alternatives?

[mistercmason]

So I'd like to put some fog lights on my base runner, but I don't feel like spending too much money. I thought a cool idea would be to run some work lights from tractor supply with a narrow-ish beam? Might be a terrible idea. Here are some options, same beam pattern just different shapes.

You can get a set of hella 500s with nearly everything for install for $65 on amazon.

Have you seen those lights in person? They're NOT a "narrowish beam". They're basically aux driving lights.

You want something like from wally world for fog lights. Not those.

Yea those will do you no good for actual use, Hella 500's are a great budget choice, or you can try some of the Wal-mart specials, but those are usually full of water when I see them mounted on people's bumpers.

That's why they make silicone. :biggrin2:

I agree with the Hella 500 suggestions. I used to have them on my rig and they are pretty good lights. You can probably find them at your local auto parts store.

I would spend a bit more on a decent set of offroad/aux lights instead of some cheapo off brand. You will have better quality. For me, I care about what parts I put on my rig.

This is probably out of the price range, but I put a set of KC lights on my runner and the kit came with three lenses for it. (Amber fog, clear fog, and clear driving). This way you can select what you want. They cost me about $150, but the quality is there and the wiring kit was complete.
