Default Light Opinion

I want to put a set of fog lights on my 07. It does not have factory fogs but has the harness. In your opinion what should I do:
1. Buy a set of lights that fit in the bumper holes?
2. Install a set of Hella behind the grill?
3. Yellow or white?
Don't really need them in the summer, but looking more towards the winter. Seems like we always leave to head north (U.P.)with the sleds when it dark out-thats when I wish I had more lighting. Thanks for the opinions

1. Not worth the money
2. Hell yes
3. I prefer white, but I dont think I've ever had to use my fog lights for their intended purpose...so if you run into alot of fog, yellow will probably be the way to go.

Me personally, I would go with some hellas with HID's, unless you truly need fog condition lights...

Do what rubberfrog did. Hes got fogs, hellas behind the grill, and 4 more over the cab. Or you could always tow a light tower.

Thanks for the replies. My wifes truck has stock fogs and yes you can tell the difference, but not by much. I like the Hella ideas and like I said, I would use them mostly up the deserted U.P. in the winter (snow/sleet). I really don't want to spend the money on something that "might" work. I do like like the idea of a light tower though.
