well funny thing. i just went to "Princess Auto" (dont know if you have one where you live but anyhow) and picked up some for $25 CDN. I wasn't expecting much but they rule. They were marketed under "Optronics" out of Fort Gibson, OK. The model i got is QH-36IK. I go to walmart a week later and they have the very same lights. Halogen, 55 watt even the same housing just diff packaging the whole 9 for $48! lol then i go to another auto parts shop, exact same ones marketed under "Hella" for $55! so i'm laffing my ass off. cuz they're good lights. not all yellow and crappy. they come with a relay and even a lighted LED push switch. No ghey toggle for me... hehe so yeah they are good. I'd stick to Walmart, Target or big stores like that.

I try to go to small import shops for my other shit but in this case you can't beat the price. if you can find a deal like i did go for it... but don't pay a bunch more for a name... ask your friends what they got...

I went to Wal-Mart and blew 35 bucks on a set of "Pro Racing" super white fogs... i like em.. however the remote control sender unit fucked up on me so i just ran a solid switch to it.

I bought mine at the plant ( I work at the Freightliner/ Western Star truck manufacturing plant) they cost about $12.00 a piece from a Freightliner Columbia series truck. I mounted tehm in 4" ABS piping and cut holes in teh lower grille and wired them through a relay.

wow really...? $15 fog lights that work good? Thats awesome... Im heading down there tomorrow.... They arent the kind that looks like a rainbow kinda are they... ya know like gas looks on the ground with the tie die effect...? Those seem cheap to me.. I want a fog light that matches the color of my headlights and turn signals... even hyperwhite would be cool....
