[QUOTE="4x4TruckLEDs.com, post: 1418784, member: 24442"] Most folks don't honestly have a real use for anything other then 1 pair of fogs. The rest are just "gravy" or great for off-road, as they can't be used on most public roads. So my new favorite setup is the following Squadron SAE Squadron SAE Amber Squadron Pro Driving/Combo I like the choice between 2 styles of SAE based on the weather condition i'm in. I'm not as concerned with SAE/DOT lights as I am with light spill. I run S2 Pros now in Wide Cornering which have some spill so I have them aimed down at the ground so any spill is below my lows. Going to an SAE will give me a cleaner cut-off so I can raise them up a bit which will be nice. As Neo pointed out Baja is re-tooling the SAEs right now so they'll be tweeked slightly in the next few weeks to improve on their compliance. But they have a much better pattern when used as daily fogs then the Squadron Wide Cornerings, that's for sure. A lot of guys argue that you don't need 2 sets of the SAE and that they don't throw a lot of light, but i'm from Long Island. Not a lot of back roads here. So for me, having the choice between white or clear SAE depending on the weather is better for me then getting MORE light (hell I have 4x LP9 Pros and 2x XL80s if i REALLY want more light) Amber are great for foul weather. And I use the driving/combos as my "highs" when I want more light on back-roads or if i'm alone (while technically not "legal" if I have my regular highs on, if i'm by myself i'm fine taking that risk. I doubt a cop will harass me anyway since i only use the driving/combos when im alone on the road anyway). So with the LVJ it's REALLY neat. The way it works is they give you relays to tap into. You just wire up your lights to the LVJ, and then you wire you upfitters to the LVJ's triggers (he gives you a trigger for each relay). So when you turn your upfitter on, the lights turn on (through the LVJ). So you STILL maintain control manually.
