Brightest foglight available?

Somewhere a while back I read about the super hyper spiritual brightest foglight for my 2017 (and other years ofcourse)
I forgot if it was Big daddy that posted it or who it was.

I only have 3000lm in there now i want the highest I can get (HB4 9006)

Gotta find a balance, you don't want too bright, in fog too bright white lights and you endanger yourself with oncoming traffic. I have to say, PIAA yellows were freaking amazing and is easily my best upgrade in my heep. I'm not sure if you can get too bright with yellow, maybe not, I have not looked into that. But one vote for PIAA yellows here, simply amazing the difference, also periphery vision is incredible. The downside is cost, I'm sure some are cheaper and just as good. Installed it was 300 bucks give or take, of course 2009 jeep.

Morimoto and aftermarket LED housings offer better beam and LED but aren’t bright. I had retrofitted the stockers with morimoto matchbox projectors and they threw the light out further but not as wide and the cutoff would bounce on the road as the fogs moved (they pivot and a spring keeps them kinda still). I went back to the stockers and now just run morimoto LEDs and they are much brighter and have good throw that’s wide. Best LEDs are the GTR ultra 2s but they are like $250 for the pair. I think the stock housings with a good pair of LEDs is the best u can do. Then upgrade your headlights with a decent retrofit and your fogs are basically useless. I have FXR 3.0 projectors in my stock sport housings and even with the 2000+ lumens per bulb in the fogs you can’t really notice they are on except maybe 20ft in front of the truck and on the sides a bit.

35w HIDs in the fogs is the brightest but you will get flashed and not really needed. Good LEDs and upgraded headlights is more than plenty.

I have a set of LED bulbs from Underground Lighting in my headlights, high beams, and my fog lights... they are INCREDIBLE!!!

Super bright white light will blind you in a actual fog. They are fog lights never intended to be super bright. Like stated above yellow actually works the best and you can have them super bright and won't blind you.

Problem with using LEDs in the factory housings is they become sorta useless in fog and snow.
Replace the fog lights with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro level SAE Fogs. I have these and they work fantastic, even in near white out conditions. Really wide coverage and the light stays low where it should.

I had a similar setup with dual pods on my 2014. Yours definitely looks cleaner. I had 1 set of pods on normal fogs and another on a switch.

I looked at doing a similar set up then someone on another forum did a write up on the SS3 SAE Pro level fogs. I was impressed by his pictures, even more so after I had them installed and drive through almost white out conditions. At one point I turned my headlights off and used just the fogs. Diode Dynamics offers an even brighter Max level but truthfully I don't think there's justification for the extra $200 over the Pro level.

I went with the baja design amber sae wide cornering for my 2022. They work great so far and we have had heavy fog for the last 2 weeks. If you have reflector type fogs upgrading bulbs will only due so much.

I'm running these in 5K, very happy with them.

They are borderline too bright honestly but I have not been flashed at all and I have had them in for over a year.

**EDIT** added link to product
