Why not swap out that S1 for a Squadron Pro in Driving/Combo

As for the S8... i don't recommend doing amber and white lenses. They'll cancel each other out. In foggy weather the amber would work well but the white would cause issues. On the contrary in clear conditions both amber and clear would work very well.

You can always add on a 10" bar? We offer a lower grill kit with either a 10" OnX6+ or an S8. We're taking pre-orders on the new KR Off-Road kit here: http://www.4x4truckleds.com/kr-off-road-lower-grill-light-bar-kit-for-2017-2020-ford-f-150-raptor/

I personally run 3 sets of Squadron Pro as you can see. I'm also running Morimoto XBs so i don't really need my fogs for normal driving use, which is why I have pros.
I don’t think you have enough lights [emoji6] #dope

Well here I am 7 months later and I still don't like my light setup :( I think I am resigned to moving to a setup with less SAE. I'm hoping the two Pro setup will satisfy my fog/rain/snow/dust lighting performance needs. I briefly thought about going with A-Pillar XL80's but at the end of the day I still want to keep things stealth.

1x Squadron Pro Spot Amber
1x Squadron Pro Wide Amber
1x Squadron SAE Clear or S1 Wide Amber

Amber in everything!!! I looking to add 2 more sets of amber S1s to the Raptor as well. 2 on the side of the XL80s for ditch lights and 2 in the "fog location" of the SVC bumper.

I’m going to try some amber lenses on a pair of squadrons out front for fog.

Between up fitters 1 & 2, my 6 squadron pros are completely washed out.

up fitter 1: S8 behind the grille + XL80 spots + S1 lasers.
up fitter 2: 2x squadron pro combos + LP4 combos.

So I’m going to try a combo amber pair aimed fairly low for inclement weather / fog.

I’ve found white to be much less useful for fog or rain. White is fine for general illumination of course but when you need fogs for fog, amber is superior. Amber is also great for general illumination. I have only 3 pods in each side of bumper….2 are amber and 1 white. I am pleased and wouldn’t change it. I do have white for my backup lights and that works well.
