definatley go with all the same thing if your gonna do 3. it would look kinda dumb like this: (F)(D)(F) because (at least with hella's) that the fogs look different than the driving. but i have amber fogs aint nobody got those! oh and definatley ditch the moulding.

why not go even w/ 2 lights up front? cheaper that way as well.

also 3 is VERY unique! how many people do you know that has 3 lights on there front bumper? but its your car and PIAA's are mad expensive, but the Hella's are the same way. i can show you a pic of mine tommorow afternoon, it will kinda be hard to tell because there 2 different colors.

 

[Digger196]

unique is good!

i have seen one exploerer with the three lights, looked good, but didnt look as good as yours will... just my advice

I'd probably get 3 fogs. The one driving light by itself wont do much; though you could get one of those Hellas that has an "inbetween" pattern, and a wide cone of driving light, but it doesn't go as far. I think you can get Hella 500s that the different patterns the lights still look the same.

As far as wiring goes, as long as it's 3 55W units you can probably just modify a 2 light wiring kit to run 3 (splice in an extra power and neg lead).

Oh, and I do like the idea of angling the side lights out a bit.

Hmmm, I just got an idea! I saw in an offroad mag in the last few months these new type of lights. The housings are diamond shaped and they can interlock into one another. You could fit 5 or 6 on your bumper like below. Very quickly done, but you get the idea. Dunno how much they cost though.

found it! www.stealthlight.com

wow alec, those are weird! a cool idea but i dont think ill get em.

It will definatley make a difference in fog! Fog lights do not reflect water droplets, so that is why they pierce through fog. I would stick two fogs on there, and one driving light.....

I say go with Hella's. I have not heard anybody say anything bad about them.

 

[Alec]

but get white fogs so it won't look wierd if you get a single driving light later. Though with Hellas you'll probably keep the covers on them most of the time.

I like my Hella 500s.

 

[coolchris]

do you think the hellas would be better than those PIAA's? the piaa 580 xtreme white fog?

 

[Alec]

dunno about looks, but they're sure as hell cheaper!

Well, you can get the 4000s in a Euro pattern. Thats a mix between a fog and a driving beam. Kind of a "W" light shape. Imagine the bottom of the W as the front of the truck. This is to not blind people as easily and give you light where you need it.

Anyway, 2 fogs and 1 Euro pattern would work well.
