Can't beat the look and fit of the OEM fogs - especially on the 98+ tegs.

I would go with aftermarket if I were you, stick with a brand name company like Caatz or Piaas. You can get a very good set for $100.

You might also want to change you headlights to these:

$25 each at your local part store. I heard very good things about them. Suppose to give you very bright light at 4000k, which is almost HID range.

the OEM style fogs for 94-97 dont light up the road well at all. I have them on my teg... They do look cool though I think they look better than the 98+. If you want cheap/good looking fogs... you can find them(oem style) for about 100 bucks online... Otherwise spend the cash and get some PIAAs

does anyone know if the fake 94-97 oem's that nopi sells will fit on a 98+ teg? I was always a fan of the smaller looking lights..... i can't stand the 98+ oem kind.

They're pretty much off-road use only. If you can tell from the first pic, they have a blue-ish relfective housing and thus have a slightly blue tint in output. They light up road signs like no other, but aren't really appropriate for city driving.
