Default Best fog lights, Opinions?

I am looking to get some aftermarket fog lights very soon, like today or tomorrow as its seems to always be foggy around here lately, lol! I have a set of PIAA 520 driving lights and was planning to get some PIAA 520 fog lights as well to match. Very pleased with the PIAA driving lights but I thought I would ask, I know everyone has their own opinions of which lights are better so I was just wonder what you guys thought or have had experience with, thanks.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Rigid dually's and dually D2s. In amber they are awesome for fog. I plan on getting a pair shortly.

Just make sure you don't melt your wires or housing using a more powerful bulb.

Bright white is very bad for actual fog conditions, that's why fog lights are orange or yellow.

Completed, apparently they changed the 520s a little since i bought my driving lights, or maybe the fogs are just different. Damn it, i wanted them to match, now I'm gonna have to buy new driving lights, haha!

Those look like the 580s, not the 520s. The 520s are 6" round lights like the middle ones. The 580s are 7" round and have the different grill. The 520s also come in the all-terrain pattern (ATP and is what I'm running), driving, and the plasma ion fogs (yellow). If you go to PIAAs website you can clearly see the differences between models and compare there. Where did you get them from?

I got the 520 fogs off of Amazon, got the 520 driving lights from there too, about 5-6 years ago, maybe they were 580s, its been so long i forget.
