Aftermarket fog/running lights for slt bumper

[nutshot]

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to add some after market fog/running lights to my 2012 ram 1500 slt. It has the chrome bumper without fog lights or cutouts. Its my work truck so I don't car if it looks stock or overly clean. Does anyone know of a kit that would fit in the little plastic inserts in the middle of the bumper? The lights would need to be fairly short height wise and preferable flush mount. Id really like a kit where I don't have to figure out additional relays and stuff because I don't understand that stuff. I just want to be able to see the road directly in front of me a bit better! Thanks in advance for any help.

Diode Dynamics sells a kit which I've run for a couple of years now. Outstanding lighting upgrade & exponentially better than the factory fogs I had in my prior 09 Laramie.

Those look better than the vertical fogs from factory

You running fog or driving lights ? I was looking at these for driving lights.

It's the wide beam fog light kit. I needed more side illumination w/ the lift. These w/ the SL1 high & low beam LEDs makes for an outstanding combo & when adjusted correctly you don't blind oncoming traffic & get high beamed.

I only see these for 2013+ on their website. I have a 2011
How easy were they to install?

I may have to try their driving lights Looking for something when I drive upstate. Been looking at some of those HID bulb replacments too.

I dont want to be that ******* that blinds people but I want to be able to see well.

Not a complex install, around 2hrs to complete.

I have a 2012 so I emailed them and they didn't know about compatability. Too bad because those look perfect. I'm not worried about modifying the bracket or my truck but the wiring confuses me so if the harnesses I need aren't back there its a waste of money

It doesn't tie into the factory wiring harness. They run off of a simple switch you install at a location of your preference on the dash or below it in my case (behind parking brake release is an ideal spot). It's a low height switch, not a tall toggle. Personally opinion, skip the long throw driving lamps & go w/ the wide beam fogs. You get excellent side coverage & the throw is long enough to serve as driving lights. I've mistakenly driven w/ them on several times, completely forgetting to cut on the headlights, they're that good.
