Hey everyone! I’m finally getting a Raptor R on Saturday! I’m looking for a triple cluster fog light kit and there’s so many out there I really don’t know which one to go with. So I was hoping you all could give me your first hand experience and recommend what you think is the best one. I don’t really care if there’s yellow in it or all white, just that it’s bright as hell!

TIA

IMHO, fog light kits, and I've had quite a few, aren't what they are made out to be. If you want bright as hell, go with a light bar on the bumper or lights on the A pillar. Fog light kits are good, but they aren't great and never wooed me. And I had the most expensive variety of Baja Design. Maybe it's just the low location. I always wanted further reach, and yes, I had the spots.

Awesome. Pictures by late Saturday AM, or you earn a prius picture!

seems like our supporting vendors must be asleep... We got an FRF here with DEEP pockets wanting some fresh lumens...
HELLO?

A point of clarification: when you say ‘fog light kit’, do you mean SAE fogs, OR are you looking for “DGAF” bright?
A good compromise:
1 pair SAE fogs. Bonus points for amber colored rock guards.
1 pair wide corner “pro” lights. Stare into these at your peril.
1 pair of spots

SAE are usable anywhere and don’t have the power of the other lights but you do get a good, wide spread with a solid cut off to keep from blinding other oncoming drivers.
wide corner excel at lighting up critters waiting to do a Kamikaze into you. They don’t push far, but, they put out a LOT of light in all directions in front.

Two timing sk@nk. You never wooed me either. I see how you are.

See the thread above.

Sure, you can run 20k lumens in the fog pockets, but they’re only 1.5 feet off the ground. Easily obstructed by low height terrain imperfections, heck even tall grass. Bumper mounted lights like LP’s are a bit higher, but still lower than headlights. A-pillar lights are well over the headlights and less easily obstructed.

The best answer is lights at all of the levels mentioned.

Smurfslayer nailed it, SAE is the way to go.
I have a pair of fogs from Diode Dynamics covertly lurking behind a pair of bumper hole fake grill covers from Amazon. I use them more as DRLs than aux lights which is what I wanted, to add more ambient light in front and sides than the stock low beam headlights. Being older than old fart I need every lumen I can get!
The amber backlights are nice as are the amber rock guard lens covers…per SS’s request. :)

DD’s customer service rocks as well…fyi.
