    Haha no, you are nuts! I have no need for anything brighter. I rarely drive my truck at night anyway, if I had the need I wouldn’t hesitate though.

    I am contemplating mounting some flush S2 Sport’s in the rear bumper like @stefan702 .

    I think we could all use some extra light back there.

    I need to add more pennies to the piggy bank first though, new tires are next on the list.

    Nice, how would you mount whichever option you go with?

    Flush. I would mount it on the black plastic if it clears and I don’t have to dismount the bumper to do so. If not then on the outside piece.

    Sounds like a good plan. I would have to go with flush mounts in the black plastic. With the salt on the roads up here I think if I cut into the metal outside bumper it would eventually rust where I cut.

    My S2s have a more deep useable light in my a pillar locations than my driving combos in my fog locations. I love them both for different reasons

    You can drive on the road if you aren’t encountering much traffic. I use mine on the road but I turn them off regularly, and I don’t pass many vehicles on certain stretches of road

    Settle down!! I run them on the street but click them off for oncoming traffic. Plus, I live in a remote area and don’t encounter much traffic

    I reserve them for bad weather and no oncoming traffic. The retros are sufficient otherwise.

    I just got the squadron spots and all the fixings for hooking the up for my foglights. But I'm having 0 luck getting the angled bezel to fit over the light. I removed the allen screws and the regular face plate but the angled is like it's to small to fit over the light. Anyone else have any trouble?

    All I can say is DEAR GOD..... How does that much light come out of something that small.... I only had time to get one installed, but literally when I turned one on I had to walk to the front of the truck and make sure my retrofits weren't on also. I do know one thing I'm going to have to disable the fog light 24/7 mod I have currently lol.

    One other thing I have the yellow rock guards will they still fit over the angled bezel?

    They are no joke!

    I don't have an answer for you on the rock guards. I have no clue if they will work with those angled bezels. Please post up your findings to help the next guy though!

    Will do these are just the pop on covers they sell. They work fine on the standard face plate but seem just a hair to small for the angled and I'm not trying to force it on there unless I'm sure it will fit. If they don't I may have a set if someone needs some for ditch lights, hopefully Bailey will chime in or someone else.

    These are the covers, like I said perfect fit for the normal face plate below the rock guard.

    Yeah that's what I'm starting to think. Oh well, time to disable the jumper wire for my anytime fog lights.
