Help me pick the "FU" lights for my SI.... (pics)
I want some sort of large FU lights on my car. Partially because I drive a lot of back roads in the woods where they would be helpful, and I've always had lots of lights. Not sure if this looks bad though. My other option is factory fogs but I will want to mold them to my bumper if I do that and it gets spendy painting the bumper.
If I get the big lights they are going to be some sort of PIAA off road light, and possibly have some kind of cover over them. I'm really not sure if it makes the front of my car look "too busy" or if I should just leave it.
As it is now with no lights.
With FU lights mounted wide.

leave it. its safer for you and your car.
function over fashion.
or if you wanted to buy some more to your taste. but as long as you can see well on the road.

Remember, I can leave it without them at all like it is now. I am considering these mainly for function as I will use them and would like to have them. Just want to make sure they aren't going to look funny. I know it is my car and my decision, I just can't decide.

Yeah, my problem with the OEM ones is they look like a cheap add on to me. That is why I though maybe if I molded them into the bumper they would look better.
I can get some PIAA off road lights and cut them into my center area of my bumper and they won't seem so intrusive.
I need to do some more photoshops first before I decide.

If you need them, get them. Who gives a **** what it looks like?
Are the OEM FOGS at all useful for NIGHT DRIVING or are some of you guys just nut-riding the OEM tip?

I was always under the impression that most OEM fogs weren't that great.
IMHO, fog/driving lights is one area where the aftermarket clearly (
) has the better product.

lightforce lights and something to cut the holes in bumper have to keep them under the headlights to be most effective
but then again my bumper looks like **** but id still cut a hole to host a set of lightforce lights
haha

i would mount the PIAA fogs BEHIND the grille... that way no cover is needed... either that, or I prefer the OEM fogs... thats what i have...
