Default Driving lights- yes or no?

Found these old driving lights, been wanting to install them for a while now but now that I'm looking at them I'm not sure it's a good look for the truck.

( they're mocked up with magnets )

Yay or nay?

They're fog lights. Same beam pattern as your factory ones in the lower valance, except yellow.

That's kinda where I'm at with them. I don't hate em but not really loving them either... Might pick up some hella's instead, I dunno.

This is true, I was doing it more for looks than anything. Thought they might be nice to have when I'm heading out in a blizzard to plow snow. Doubt they'll get used much otherwise.

I'm just gonna go right on the bumper with whatever I get, the valance is rusting off anyway so I don't feel too bad drilling into it. What Hellas do you have Howard?

Ryan,
You should mount them in the upper outer openings in grille. I swapped over to the 01-03 grille & headlights setup & mounted these Hella fog lights behind the grille, hanging them from the header panel.

I have a set of Factory Fog Lights, complete with Harness that I've been thinking about selling. The Round Fog Lights that fit in the Bumper Cover..
Anyone interested, let me know.

This is where I put mine. I could have made them look cleaner but you know, once the bolts are in.... They're in..

But yeah looks pretty good on the rig. If you have $30 and Amazon, get some decent leds. Your battery will love you.
