It seems a little weak that there are no included fog lights with the modular bumper. The price-point is there and what modern, mid-level and up vehicle doesn't include fog lights? Just feels like a cop out. I know they will be easy to include with the auxiliary switches, but they should be included and on the steering column like every other new vehicle. If they are actually included, please send me some info on that, as it doesn't show up on any of the newer pictures from Mules.

the mod bumper has removable sides so no option for a built in fog.
They could just be brought in closer to center.

they would get ripped off when rock bashing your 60,000 rig?
I already bash a 60k rig, what would be the difference?

Since they don't do anything? (Others differ I know, but got caught in an early snow blow a couple weeks back, tried them....nope. No use whatsoever. DOT requiring headlights to be on to turn on fogs makes them useless.) Fight me.

I use my fog lights all the time. I have had them on my last five vehicles. Definitely nice to be able to turn off the headlights at times when using to keep the reflection down. Sometimes the "safety" rules don't jive with common sense.

Ford factory fog lights are junk(3 f150s(06,12,15)and 18mustang gt). I just upgraded my f150 to amber diode dynamic sport ss3 pods using factory foglight switch. The light output is amazing and the sport is plenty bright enough for road use.

I plan on purchasing diode dynamic pods for the bronco as well.

I've never had a vehicle that allowed that, so haven't seen it!

Totally in agreement that not having fog lights on the modular bumper is a miss. I almost went to Wildtrack from BL just for that issue. Who makes a rig with no fog lights the se days??? And I use them all the time and they are useful in all types of weather and for seeing deer and other critters on shoulders. Last resort is to purchase some Rigid Fogs and mount underneath top section of top modular bumper. Would rather have stock ones from the factory......Ford?

They're not to see, they're to *be* seen.

They add conspicuity, and additional symmetrical lighting, especially that which is pushed to the outside edges of the vehicle, enhance other people's ability to mentally calculate closing distance of an approaching vehicle.

yeah I need them we get fogged out all the time where I live. I have already come to the conclusion I will have to do something DIY.

First time I've heard that. Excellent point.

Well, we have those aux switches for something!

Would prefer the integrated fog switch with headlights, but this way I can put good fog lights on instead of crappy OEM ones.
