Fog and or Driving lights On 98 Dodge
I have a ' 98 Dodge QuadCab Shortbed 24-Valve Cummins and I want to install some Driving and or Fog Lights on the Bumper or at least on the front of the truck. Where and what type of lights would you reccommend? Looking for some good ideas.

I used projector style fog lights and hole sawed them so they just peek out of the air dam.
What I like about the projectors is the glass lens is about an inch thick, won't crack or break from flying rocks.
Why I knew about this was from walking though a large shopping center parking lot and noticing that almost all the type of low hanging fog lights were cracked. Not the projectors though.
Mine are like these Projector Beam Driving Light
Sorry about all the bugs

I just put a set of Hella 500 driving lights on the front bumper of mine:
They are about $70 from any of the discount parts warehouses and they work great. I have also had the fog light version of these in the past and they are fantastic too. I can't see spending $250 on a set of PIAA's when these work great. I did buck up for a set of PIAA bulbs for them though. They are about the same diameter as KC Daylighters but less than half the thickness. I had to mount them about as close to the front of the bumper as I could in order to prevent the grill from hitting them when I close the hood. I haven't noticed any shaking but I haven't gone very far at night as of late.

I went with some $20 fog lights from walmart last year to replace the stock yellowed ones and mounted them to the stock brackets and they worked awesome and I would have kept using them except one met and unfourtanate ending on a road trip the other weekend. I ordered stock foglights from ebay and I am going to replace them with.
Here are some pics of the $20 wallyworld lights
