Any suggestions for fog lights for a 1998

I'm looking to put in some new fog lights on my 98 f-150. Looking to find something that looks a little closer to my headlights as shown below or just more clear overall. I'm also looking for something that is fairly bright not blinding or anything like that just bright enough to help out. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Depot fogs in the stock bumper location look a lot like your headlights

Upgrade to a good set of headlights and you won't need to worry about the fogs! haha

Buy a set of depo fogs then bake the lens off paint the inside black then do a hid projector retro fit inside then reseal. Now that would look sick on your truck with all the black!

Projector retrofit is usually the best answer to ANY headlight question.

^ People are finally starting to get it. To bad hids aren't good for real life fog lights. They are actually to bright. They would only help if you're just using then to gain distance BC they will actually hurt when trying to use then in fog or rain.

Even if the OP was just asking about a burnt-out bulb...

Answer: Projector retrofit.

But really tho, I would also suggest a new pair of heads. I almost bought a pair of CCFL halo lights, but I was luckily swayed away from them by these guys. With these on eBay, there is really no excuse.
