Default Rigid vs rough country fog lights

I just bought a new Fab Four vengeance prerunner front bumper and need to choose between rigid d2's and rough country fog lights. I don't care if they are the brightest, as I really want to run them every day...I care more about quality, longevity etc. I hear the rigid are so bright they can't be run with headlights in normal traffic or they will be blinding. It seems like rough country is half the lumens.


Any opinions on here?

Also - if so, any opinions on which are the best for the application.

Is the rigid worth the cost difference?

Are they too bright for normal driving? I'd be getting d2's. Why the flood over driving?

That looks awesome. Do you have a link to how you made the bracket or where you purchased it?

I'm going to adjust my Morimoto a little higher as I'm not happy with them. I'm likely going to do another swap out for the RI's. D series. One pair of DOT road legal and beside them (outside) will be the spots wired to the High beam.

Really...I was going to drop the hammer and make a buy on the Moritomo fogs. You're saying the rigid fogs are better, and brighter?

Damn all these choices we have.

I'm not saying that as I've never seen them in action. However I'm not happy with what I have. If I swap them it will be for RI's I can also put some spots for a nice clean look. I've had some wide angle RI's mounted to the rear shackle mounts and used them for backup lights. They were sue awesome. Put them thru hell and looked new when I sold my 2012 lariat.
