I'm aware, but how is it not obvious? KC Slimlites are a round light, that cannot possibly be confused with Factory fog lights, nor the Amber fog lights Satellite added.

I understand that Viper but i think Purple was just asking if those KC's were installed in front or behind the grill of Satellite's truck. Dont think he was confusing the fog lights.

They're in front of the grill bolted directly to the bumper.

Those look real good satellite. I didnt think it was possible to mount lights there because of clearance issues opening/closing the hood.


Would you have a pic of the side view or 3/4 view?

The lights are very close to the grill when the hood is closed. When I open and close the hood I have to push the grill back a smidge if I don't want the grill to rub across the back of the lights. I'll try to get a pic up today.

Looks good, Got HID's in headlights also? The KC's dont look quite as bright or white as the Headlights, I know you said you have 4300 in the KC's so maybe thats why they dont look as white as the headlights.

I think that's mostly due to the camera. Both the headlights and the KCs are 4500K. They look much whiter in person than they do in that pic, with just the faintest hint of blue. The KCs definitely throw more light down the road.

WaynesWorld, here's a pic. It's tight but it works fine for me.

I have 6" Hella 500's mounted behind my grille. If done correctly, a KC Highlight or similar pencil beam will clear also.
