I have a stock front bumper and wanted fog lights, so I did a bunch of research and found out about those flush mount LED pods. I figured I could install a pair in my front bumper on either side, so I ordered a pair from RIGID that were amber in color and have a flood beam.

1. Tape off the area which you want to install the lights into, and then tape the included template on top. Measure it out however you want, I just centered it within the (mostly) flat parts of the end of each side. (Ignore the mangled mess of a bumper on top, got into an accident in November. Thanks @Capital E for the replacement!)
2. Mark where you need to cut and drill, and then cut and drill! I did it with a Dremel and went through about 3 metal cutoff wheels because I don't own an angle grinder. Took forever but it worked.
3. Sand the edges smooth!!!!!!
4. Get it painted/powdercoated something nice if applicable.
5. Slap em on there and call it a day.
6. Bonus points for wiring them with an OEM fog light switch.
The flood beam is obviously different than a fog beam, as they point up and down instead of just down, and I don't think these lights are "legal" for on-road use. However, they definitely work great as fog lights, illuminating the sides of the road and right in front of you. I've never been flashed or anything for using them on public roads, which I think the amber color helps with. White ones might be too bright, and the amber looks really cool and is great for fog, rain, and snow.
