Four, four inchers. Buy the lights before the bumper is on and use the oppourtunity to epoxy the mount brackets onto the bumper. Also give you the chance to run the wiring neater. Use relays, even if you use the stock switch.

IPF is what I have seen used

And here are some cheap, what I call, placeholders

How about some HIDs if you got the $ to burn

Cheapest on that link is $29, each. I would stick with the Hella's over the APC (no name brand recognition there at least). The Hella's are $39 for the PAIR.

I'm pretty sure that price is for the pair. When they say each I'm sure they mean for each set. When have you ever seen fog lights, stress on the plural in lights, sold individually and not a pair?

I have seen quite a few places on the net sell single lights.

Pretty sure does not equal sure.

Call them and find out why their web site says EACH and not PAIR.

I don't assume anything when dealing with people I can't see.

If the cut-out is 4 inchs and the light is anywhere from 3.5-4 inchs, what does it matter? The gap will be spread around the light. It will look fine. Nothing is perfect. It's all in the implementation. Personally, I am going with 4 of the Hella's and will wait to see how that works. If I need more light, I'll switch a or both sets to the PIAA 500 series (4inch round, but $$$!).

I use those for the headlights...CWEST kit.

I just ordered the PIAA 510's.

I just got my Optilux's. They are 3 inchers, in a 4.5 inch opening. I don't mind it since they will be sitting in the openings with full ducting behind them pointing onto (and around the oil coolers) to the brakes.
