Well... Because you only need 2 fog lights. 4 will be covering the same area twice. Not to mention completely defeat the purpose of fog lights. You will have too much light, and it will be probably as bad as using headlights in fog. Go exchange a pair for driving lights. That way you will have both.

I see your point... but I totally disagree with everything you just stated!

I put 4 hella 500ff's and they are pointing in slightly different directions... they don't cover the same area at all!! They are so bright and evenly spaced.. that you can tell no difference between high and low beams.. while some consider that "bad".. I consider it a good thing... I checked with the local fuzz and they said that my lights are fine as long as they are spaced evenly across the front and headlight level... pics to come

So, they arn't fog lights then? Because the Hella 500FF is a fog light. The Hella 500 is a driving light. Completely different purposes.

Laws are different in each location. Like in mine you cannot run fog lights on the roads unless there are "adverse conditions"; like snow, heavy rain, fog and etc. I know this cause I got pulled over for having my PIAA lights on.

Also in my area my off road lights are prohibited unless you're...well I guess off road!

AND on the main roads I cannot run more the 4 lights on at a time...NO MATTERS WHAT!

Darn rules!

The fog lights I purchased are glass. I remember installing the HIDs and being mighty suprised how close the bulb came to hitting the actual lense. I was almost certain I was sold the wrong bulb, but they wound up fitting.

Iwhitne, really like the look of your truck. I'm not a fan of bedcaps, but minus that, I think your truck is very nicely done.
