I did not spec for factory fog lights when I ordered my MCS. I want to install a quality pair of fog/driving lights in the front valance. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Cibie, PIAA and Hella all make excellent auxilliary lights in a variety of shapes/sizes. I've got the PIAA 520 driving lights and am quite happy with them.

If you are going to mount lights below the bumper, I would do so with fogs only. You'll want to set driving lights as high as possible (at least at the level of the headlamps) to throw the beam out front and avoid road glare. Hope that helps.

I think I'm going for the Hella Micro DE fogs. Around $130 with a magnesium housing. They are a small quality fog light with a glass lens.
