Which fog lights

So i have decided my next mod for my truck will be fog lights. Which kind of lights would you reccomend?
I just want 2 lights in front. Not ready for the overhead lights yet.
Dont want them on a grill gard either.
How would you reccomend mounting them.
(I was thinking about the drilling them on the bumper, but didnt really want to drill into my bumper.)
Do you think drilling into the valance would hold it?

you could get light tabs that will put them right in front of your grill or use a thing that someone makes that is a front plate holder that has two tabs that mount lights in pretty much the same location. i think youd have to do too much to the valence to mount lights to them, plus those always get knocked out unless theyre factory.

Yes, after looking at the pix I noticed i was the ONLY one without ANY lights. Figured i should prob add some.

BTW when i was at the front of the line driving home and you where in the back, your lights still hit my mirror when you flicked them on. Hopefully one day i will return the favor.....lol.

Ya i was thinking about the factory valance, but then again i dont.
Here is why....
Im still deciding on if i should make my 4x2 look good or get a 4x4 to work on. I know everyone says keep the 4x2 cause its a lot of work to sell and buy plus 4x2's are cheaper to lift and drive (gas). (this topic goes back to my first form 4x2 rangers) But... i dont wanna wast money on a 4x2 and pull up to a stock 4x4 that will beat me off road.

Now i know everyone's next question is going to be....
But why spend money on fog lights if im not going to keep the truck?

Well im just brainstorming ideas and hearing your opinion about foglights and how to mont them.

highly doubt you will return the favor, Bills truck isnt even hitting the wattage mine is

BTW here is the new part 2 of the meet theres some nice pics of your truck and everone elses https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ead.php?t=5834


also here is one of the stock valances on ebay not bad on price eather http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

I bet if you open the phone book start callin all the junk yards around here u can find a set of stock fogs for your year there is a really good yard out by the airport just start making phone calls

other wise its $44 for a set of BRAND new fogs http://www.parts.com/partlocator/ind...=1&catalogid=2
