The OEM Hella fog lights are awesome. I would put them in if I didn't have them already.

I used KC HiLites Titanium, but they're behind the grill mounted on the lower cross-bar.

Too much lighting is never enough; I agree with MikeTHally; I'm also using the KC Hilites Titanium with the 130 watt bulbs behind the grille, OEM Hella fogs with 80 watt bulbs, inboard mounted 55 watt projector fogs (in thespace between the tow hooks) and 100 watt / 80 watt headlight bulbs. No problems so far in 3 plus years - I like to see and unfortunately Dodge lighting leaves a lot to be desired, almost to the point of being dangerous IMO.

I have Hella 500 driving lights behind the grille like MikeHTally and all I can say is they DEFINETELY improve visibility...

OEM- easy to install. Everything is made to fit and no problems mounting. Might have customize aftermarket.

No overheating issues at all. The amber LED bars came from these folks: http://closertowholesale.com/
