Finally got around to ordering lights for mine. Ordered Hella Optilux Fogs (http://www.hella.com/produktion/Opti...Model_1200.jsp) and a Pilot 4 channel remote switch. I will be making some aluminium plates and using U-bolts to mount them to the hitch tubes. Hopefully, I'll have time to get on it shortly after Christmas.

I was browsing around pep boys, and am wondering if I should go with fog ligts, or driving lights for my aux back up lights, has anyone used driving lights on their truck?

Fog lights work better because they're more of a flood light, driving lights are more of a spot beam

Has anyone mounted some aux lights in the bumper? I had a set of oval 55w lights that worked great for the last year, but they didn't last this winter. Too much off-roading and they couldn't survive. So i'm looking for some lights I can mount flush in the bumper itself.

Ended up doing some flush mounts in my new bumper. Tied into the trailer reverse wire for now.

Here's the lights on my 2007

PERFECT.

See, you just needed a new bumper all along. Kind of nice to have light above ground line too.
