Plug & Play fogs. Which ones?

I've been looking at Morimoto and Rigid. Anyone have any other recommendations for some round plug and play fogs? I don't care if they match the headlight color.

JW speakers. Can be had at the same place you get Morimoto. I have had both Morimoto and JW speaker.
JW is better for all around brightness and better foreground, but Morimoto is wider by about 1 lane of traffic or so.

Replied to your thread about the Rigid SAE fogs.
Hard to go wrong with the Rigid, Morimoto or JW really. They're all very close in performance, and far outperform stock halogen fog lights. They're almost more of a driving light with the beam intensity.
The XBs will be almost a true plug and play. The JW will be for sure.
The SAEs will need some creativity...I opened a set of OEM fogs and mounted them in the reflector bucket so they could be finely adjusted.

Thanks. I'm going to use the Rigid SAE fogs in the stock locations using their adaptor. I'm getting a new set w/brackets for $250, so hard to say no to that!

Would have liked to have some real world, night shots comparing, but oh well.

Thanks, but for the price on the rigids I can't pass them up.

No problem. We're lucky there are so many different good options for fogs for these round fog lights. You don't like one, buy a different style. The JW fit my needs perfectly. Great function and pretty good form.

I've been interested in the TRS XB fogs.

Yes sir, output was very wide! Like 8 lanes wide. But not much foreground. But they fit perfectly in place of the OEM fogs. These are gen 1 idk when they'll come out with gen 2.

I would be very interested in this. I am going to pull the trigger this week on a set of JW's or XB's.
