I got the Bright Box II, no complaints, and well worth it. Just do it right the first time.

Brite Box makes a box just for the fog lamps, called Fogster. See TDR #48, p. 164.

Brite box a partial solution

I too have the Brite Box and it is at least a partial solution in that it lights up the area close in. But nothing short of an extra set of lights will throw a beam down the highway. IMHO, OEM headlights are designed to keep bright lights out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. That's fine, but OEMs don't light up dark highways far enough for some of us to see and avoid wildlife.



The problem is in the reflector design, which means brighter (and more costly) bulbs aren't worth the money.

I second bighammer. Easy to do and no $$$$$$

I don't know if it is the same on the newer trucks, but in mine all you have to do to leave the fogs on with the brights is to remove the foglight relay and place a jumper between pins #2 and #5. All the relay does on my truck is to turn the lights off when the brights come on. The pin numbers are from the smaller black relay, not the larger one with pins 85, 86 etc.
