Replacement LED for lower factory driving lights?

I replaced the factory headlights lights with Spyder and it's an overall improvement. What about replacement of the lower driving or auxiliary lights...is there a "plug/play" LED replacement or aftermarket item?
I'm looking for LED 48-55watt mainly something that will plug directly into the factory plug so I don't have to run new wiring and switch.
Appreciate the ideas and replies!

Spyder has many fog lights on their website for 2nd gen Dodge Rams but for some unmentioned reason they say they dont fit the turbo diesel. If you like their headlights then I'd be calling them up and ask why the dont fit the Cummins trucks. Seems odd since there isnt anything really that different in bumper configurations and space.

I believe the issue will be the corners of the intercooler (CAC) and whatever bracketry they use.
I pitched my OE lights and replaced them with Morimoto LED driving lights. Welded up my own mounting brackets to keep the original mount points, lamp position and angles.

I haven't replaced my fogs yet but I've done most of the other bulbs (and flasher module) using them and it seems to be a good price and good quality.

Basically as the regular bulbs go dead I replace with LEDs

If you're looking for usable light, nothing you can put in the original housing will do nothing other than get rid of a few spending dollars. The housings are novelty lights, nothing more.
