Need advice on aftermarket lower bumber fogs

I'd like to get a set of aftermarket fogs which would utilize the lower bumber openings. I have an 06' MC and have zero clue in what direction I should go. I've looked at other threads but nothing really helps.

Or should I just bite the bullet and go with OEM. Have them installed by the dealer and get the toggle? I really have no desire to drop a ton a money but I want a clean look upfront and inside the vehicle.

I eventually want to install driving lights, but one thing at a time.

Thanks for all the help upfront and I'm learning as I go...

Bump
Success!

OEM kit on it's way for less than I had budget for with aftermarkets. 51 views and not a one. I was surprised.

Where did you get them?

I busted my passenger side fog and need a replacement.

Thanks

John

My MC did not have the fog lights factory installed either, and it was one of the few things about the car that I wished it had. (I ordered mine from the factory lot knowing what equipment was on it).

I decided to let the dealer add them OEM. The cost was more than double what it would have been as a factory installed option, but I did get a fully populated toggle switch for the interior out of the deal, even if one of the switches doesn't actually do anything. Meanwhile, I am trying to decide what cool accessory I might add to use up that extra switch.

But back to the fog lights...,, Even you never use them it seems like the sort of thing that would be important if you ever resell the car.

my gallery still has the pics when i finished my PIAA 004X install... i had a custom bracket made so that it is aimed properly at the hole... now, it is merely to fill the hole mind you, so it actually doesn't project that much light, but still, looks awesome...

fyi, i searched for about 3 months for the proper size fog so that they can fit flush to the bumper, but you are REALLY gonna have to find hard to find a fog that will fit the oem bumper cut out
