Here's a thought that has been bumping around in my noggin for awhile now and I thought I would put it up and see what comes from the post.

I have recently installed a Hi Beam/ Low Beam mod that I bought on Ebay. It allows the fog lights to stay on when you switch to high beams. It helps, but the design of the fog light is to spread a low fan-like beam (which is great for fog/snow/heavy rain, but I just want to have better illumination for night rides and back roads). When I have the fogs and Hi Beams on, there is still a band of darkness between the two which is really annoying and sometimes a little unnerving. Is there an after market replacement for the factory fogs? Can I adjust the beam higher (not my first choice for sure). When I get my new bumper this summer, it will have built in driving lights so I am not looking to add any other lights right now (unless I find a killer deal on a light bar :D ).

Thoughts and advice will be welcomed.

One thing you might try is to replace the fog light bulbs. The spread will be similar but you can get more punch out of say, PIAA extreme whites.

you should have a Torx screw on the Fog lamps (look around the edge) that allows you to adjust up / down

I am using the PIAA extreme whites. The stock bulb number is 9145, but with a little work with a file you can modify the 9005 bulbs to fit. How-to link - http://www.jeepprojects.com/content.php?article.43

The 9145s are 45 watts and the 9005s are 55 watts. With either bulb, it is a huge improvement over the stock bulbs. I used to have Siverstars and the PIAAs are even brighter.
