HID Fogs - Questions/Opinions

[Ruger]

Here's the link to the product at Performance 4 Trucks:
Driving Light Kit

Here's the link to the Street Scene site:
Street Scene - Mirrors, Grilles, Body Kits, Roll Pans, Wiper Cowls, Driving Lights, and more.
It's the first item on the list.

Again, they're marketed as driving lights, but they come in a box that prominently says fog lights and the bulb is shrouded.

I haven't heard back from Performance 4 Trucks yet, but I think that they must be talking with Street Scene to address the issue. They are exceptionally well made and I'd hate to have to return them, but they can't be modified. I'd love to remove the bulb shroud but there's no way to get to it.

Got a call from Performance 4 Trucks. They've consulted with the Street Scene, and these are indeed DRIVING LIGHTS. I was told that the fog light version has fluted, irredescent amber lenses. Good news. They're going on the truck this weekend.

This will complete my forward lighting:
- Inboard Blazer fog lights on the lower grill
- Outboard Pilot fog lights in the bumper cut-outs
- PIAA 40 off-road lights
- Sirius SAE/legal driving lights. (Nope, they're fog lights.)

My compliments to Performance 4 Trucks for running this to ground for me. It's a good outfit to do business with.

UPDATE: Nope, they're fog lights. Performance 4 Trucks got misled and so did I. I went directly to Sirius in Taiwan and got the straight story.

I use PIAA cross country as HID fog lights. I think it is street legal.

Those are nice looking, but $800 for a dual set? Ouch.

Just found these, the bulbs say they are SAE compliant. Pricey though...

I looked at those myself and I still don't see the SAE compliant notice.

Click on the lamp model number and it pulls up the spec sheet.

Yeah SAE compliant means that it is basically considered safe by the Society of Automotive Engineers(won't electrocute your car or light your car on fire). DOT is who determines whether or not they are street legal. If they are not DOT stamped on the lens of the light they probably are not street legal. In addition to that there may be local laws that make it illegal to run fogs.

^^I am not so sure. I don't see DOT anywhere on the factory headlights.
