Question head/foglight upgrade?

I have an '07 3500, and want to upgrade the headlights or foglights. I find the stock lights are pretty disappointing. I am looking at PIAA's replacement fog lights for driving lights. has anyone put in something else that is better and good quality?

You can try Maxvision HID lights and has fogs for it too. it cost around 295 for heads and fog for 140

People.... I said "may be illegal" may the key word. BC has some pretty tuff legislation when it comes to on road stuff. Yes there are some with the ugrades and so on. I would check to see if they are or are not legal, is what I should have said. On another point if you get pulled over by the police or DOT, and the guy is having a bad day.... $$$$$$

In Alberta if you have commercial plates and have offroad lights or non OEM lights they have to be covered when on the highway, they can only be used off road. Fog lights can only be used when the weather dictates it, meaning only when its foggy.

I agree the headlights on these trucks leave alot to be desired.

And yet on another note... the internet is not to be taken literally, its up to you to educate yourself. The opinions on most forums are that and that only OPINIONS! The only facts or actions that are true are those of the moderators of said forums.
