fog lights needed? advice please
ok so when we went to little rock from memphis last saturday night i found out real quick that hid'* arent enough down south lol. basically the gps said it was faster to take a really twisty unlighted state highway with a 65mph speedlimit, and i found myself using my brights and constantly looking for eyeballs reflecting down the road. so i think i need some fogs or something more long distance than standard lights (not the brights) just a nice middle ground.
i want to mount them in the grille but im afraid of them melting the plastic grille or affecting cooling. my other thought is in the air opening on the bottom half of the bumper but its hilly as all hell here so the lower they are the more useless they are. any ideas for something that wont make my car look like a pickup truck with big kc floods on it? lol

This is what i did on my SSEi
They worked well..The stock ones were nice to run with the heads but if i flipped the lowers on it REALLY made a deiffrence and helped quite a bit.if you want them a little higher you could mount them upside down on the top of that opening

I picked those up cheap at meijer or walmart with the lights brackets to mount them wiring and a switch for like 25 bucks those specific ones put off kind of a blue glow..I might still have em around here somewhere

not so much a fan of the blue tint anymore. i replaced those 8000k blue lights in my avatar with 6000k white ones a little while back

amen, but like i said with all the hills and it being a highway its hard not to blind people. so on the straighter higher traffic parts, fogs would be ideal. ill have to post a pic of my bumper after that drive. my car has been parked since then so all the bugs are still glued on lol
