Default Long term 2011 F-250 fog light upgrade solution?

I purchased a few sets of the Chinese 100W replacement bulbs. Great prices, look good but only last several months. I have extra bolt-on high intensity but like leaving the built-in's on for regular driving. Anyone have luck with any of the newer upgrades out there? I would like to stick with OEM plugs.

This is what I've been putting in

Buy some LEDs from Rigid Industries.

Expensive, but great products.

I have a set of Dually XL 3x2's hooked up to uplifted switch for ranch/late nite driving..... I'm looking for driving ones to go in the built in fog light slots.

I swapped my stock fogs out for the rigid Duallys. I also have amber clip on lenses for rain and snow use

Exactly what I was referring too. I really like those single LED strips that "finish" the grill too. But damn does all that get pricey fast!

Don't you get flashed from using the dually's? I'm looking for every day running lights that are just a bit brighter than stock.

Yeah I agree. Definitely a little expensive

I angled them down a little bit. I do get flash every once in a while but I think it's bc I put hids in the headlights and the truck is leveled

You can put a "volume control" on the LEDs and reduce their perceived brightness. One of my LED sets of lights for the rally bike has that; 30% on dims and 100% on highs.

Really do like the look of the strip in the grill and think one on the top would make it perfect.

Thank you. I originally was going to put one on the top but the shop I used talked me out of it. I forget the specifics but the top of the grill requires more airflow than the bottom etc I agree it would look nice though
