Default Auxiliary lights

As most of you guys know I have the Kensaw bumper. I didn't add the fog lights when i ordered it because they were so expensive. Now i want to put on some lights but have no clue where to mount them. Any ideas would be appreciated. Heres my truck for a reference.

my vote is to the inside of the headlights, looks like you have a perfect area there infrom of the grill

oh and dont go with piaas, they will crack when u get them submerged in water.

see I thought of mounting them there they just didn't look that great. maybe it's because the cheapo's were too small.

yeah I just found some lightforce's I think they would look great. If only they weren't $200 a pair haha. I guess I'll just have to stop being cheap.

you could mount them right above your D rings, some big HELLA lights would look good.

i got my kc daylighters off ebay for 130 brand new in box, they are great, what are u looking for some driving lights/flood lights, or just fog lights like what is stock
if u just looking for foglights, and don't mind drilling into that bumper, drill a hole into it, weld a mount on it so that they point straight out and have them under the headlight like stock would look like'if ur looking for bright a$$ ones, id say mount them to the left and right of the winch on top as far foward as possible to still allow u to open ur hood

if going for an offroad look in between the d-rings and winch would look cool.

I'm primarily going to be using them as fog lights since this is my daily driver, but I will also use them offroad when I go out. I would try to recess them but cutting a hole in 1/4" steel is a bit more work then i want to even attempt with the tools available to me lol. I think I'll be going to mount them on top between the headlights, I'm just going to have to wait till my first paycheck.
