Raptor Retrofit or fog light kit?

[Dirtsmith]

Having a hard time figuring out which direction to go... the retrofit route gives streetable lighting but still likely wont match the output of either fog kit for off-road/high-beam use. BD has more beam options over vision x which is more compelling too but their kit is discontinued apparently so i'd have to act fast to get a mount from a vendor. Neither fog light option is usable on the street but would be wired into the high beams w/ a relay later.

Regarding the BD squadron lights, i'm thinking a driving/combo then the wide cornering for "ditch lights" as i want to avoid a pillar lights for as long as possible (not a fan of the look but if i need them for nighttime fun in utah then i need em...)

if anybody has input on the beam patterns they like or feedback between the vision x and BD pods im looking at i'm all ears. also looking for feedback from the raptor retrofit guys running the evo-x 2.0 projectors with the 50w upgrade for street/off-road use and any beam pattern pictures y'all have to share.

So you can run Squadron SAE's and run them 100% of the time as they are street legal. This solves the width issue with the stock lights and is awesome for turning. Using a Squadron pro triggered by your high beams with either a driving combo or spot lens gives great fill and added distance to your high beams. If you want, I also make a kit to add an S1 to the side and run three lights when you want extreme width on your lights.

I don't have retrofits so I can't really speak to the comparisons. Let me know if I can help at all with the fog light feedback and insight though

I like the combo option If you’re using the lights for low visibility . I usually run three different types and intensity because one doesn’t check all the box’s when you actually need them especially in fog .
