Re: Blue offroad foglights?
Well, the lights on the lightbar are more for: a) lighting the path in front
of me for offroading at night and; b) looks I'm not sure it's justifiable to spend $80+ USD on a pair of PIAA or KC's when I can get 4 of those blue ones for $80 USD (or clear coloured).

Re: Blue offroad foglights?
Well, are those cheapies plastic shelled?! won't last long going through
the bush whether you need them or not! they'll get whacked and cracked! Same come winter time and with UV exposure. I went to Princess Auto up here in Canada and they have dozens of surplus gear which included Aux lights....but they were mostly plastic shelled....thought and thought....hurt myself thinking...then thought some more and figured I'd shmuck them on something and crack them. would rather have the metal shelled ones that cost a few more bucks.

Re: Blue offroad foglights?
There's some no-name type stainless steel 6" round ones too ...is it really
necessary to buy name-brand like PIAA or KC? Any advantages? These are 55/100 and 55/130. I can get a set of 4 for about $100 USD shipped.
