If any of you are looking for and exceptionally well made driving/fog light might I suggest that you take a look at the Rigid D-series set. I recently installed them on my M2 and I must say I have never experienced a stronger beam pattern. The LED's are very powerful and you can get any snap on color len you might want, life time guarantee and made in the USA! Thanks, Ron G.

Actually, I would love to replace the high intensity conventional bulbs in my driving/fog lights with low heat high intensity LEDs. The one reflector inside has blackened, I believe from the bulb itself which is still working. Very odd.

ragoodsp, I can attest to the quality, brightness, and ruggedness of your Rigid light pods. They are unbelievably bright and extremely useful for nighttime driving. Of course, not while cars are in front of you. For other's looking, I would suggest cross shopping with Black Oak LED. I'm sponsored by them for my Jeep Wrangler, but even without the sponsorship, they are almost half the price of Rigid's and equally bright, or brighter, and just as tough. I have both brands and other than price, they are identical. Either brand are so well built that they will outlast any car you put them on.
LED Light Pods or Light bars would be particularly useful for 4X4 PC's. Or mounted to the rear of some rigs as a work light.
Here are some pics of my Jeep with a variety of LED lights mounted. I have several mounted on the rear and sides as well for perimeter lights. Extremely useful when boondocking or off-roading.

The Rigid D-dually is street legal and can be used like any other fog/driving light. I am not one to break the law and therefore stayed away from many of the other light products out there that are really strictly for off road use only.

D-dually's. Yes, they are street legal and both DOT and SAE compliant. In my State of VA, if mounted above the bumper, then they are treated as High Beams and should be shut off when other cars are in front of you. I linked my bumper lights to my high-beams to ensure I never accidentally forget.
Another common DOT rule in many states is only 4 lights illuminated at a time, which is why Fog lights automatically shut off when you engage high beams. If installing these, it's a good idea to use existing wiring to ensure compliance.

My M2 came with OEM driving lights below the bumper and only work with the low beam lights as the law here NH mandates. They go out on high beam.
