Ok did a search and was unable to find anything on this subject! I know that I've seen a thread on these lights for the 03-2010 trucks with round fog lights Can anyone point me to a web sight that has these for sale? Thanks.
 
I just bought a set from PIAA, and although they're not projector, they come with "vehicle specific" mounting brackets that allow you to locate them in the factory position. I ordered them this week, and should have them soon. The PIAA foglights weren't cheep, but they do sell the brackets seperately for a little over $100. 00 and I assume you could mount any foglight/driving light you want after that. Here's the link...

I just installed the PIAA 5462 Xtreme White fog lamps as backup lights in my rear bumber. I like them so much that I'm going to install them up front too. I prefer the Xtreme White over the Ion Yellow.
 
I got the kit from genos allowing, if i remember right, 9005s instead of 9007s, in the fog lights, much brighter. . Love them. . Bought a set of projecter headlights and they definitely help too...
 
I got the crappie ones on e-bay too. They keep popping 30 amp fuse. When they work, they are very bright. The halo LEDs quite working about 45 days after purchase. Seller said they had 30-day warranty. I did not return e-mails about how I had to modify on 4X4 because intercooler interference. I'm going to rewire them internally w/ heavier gauge wire. Running 12 gauge to 18 gauge doesn't make sense, hence poor design.

I think the original post was for "PROJECTOR FOG" lights, I have search the local parts stores and can’t seem to find them. Here are a couple of links that might interest you, one is universal and the other is specific to the Ram. If the one that is specific to the Ram is made like the aftermarket "PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT" replacement with the supposedly projector lights I wouldn't waste your money, unless you're just wanting to look cool, They are very poor quality.

Funny you should ask now, as of last night at midnight I do. I have been collecting parts for a while, and here is the light upgrade I am in the middle of:


Fog Lights:
I want low cut light, ideally a projector. This seems to be my best bet. With using a stock shroud, they should appear fairly stock and give great light down low for fog. Also, I should be able to do them with shipping and a new headlight switch (to use the stock fog light wiring) for about $150 to $170

90mm Low Beam DE Headlamp Module, H9 bulb 68137 - Performance Lighting
90mm Bracket 97300
Connector for H9 Halogen Bulb 87193

Note: I just finished this last night. This was a pain in the butt. It turned out well, but it took me a long time with some aluminum stock and trial and error to bend up a couple of mounting brackets that both matched side to side and held the lights centered in the stock bulb shroud. If I had to do it again, I would paint the bracket black prior to installing. Because the stock bulb is oval and slightly larger you still see some of the adjuster bracket at the install.

The good news is with the adjusting bracket they are easy to dial in. This is especially important with projectors, as the sharp light cut off means you really need to take the time to keep them safe (out of peoples eyes) and effective (below the fog). I adjust them with a cordless drill and a wall 25' from the truck. You want about 2. 1" (legal min) to 2. 5" drop over 25' with these lights (measure from the light center).
