Towing back from SLC I had a seriously close call with a 1000lbs Elk late at night. I had all of my lights on but he still snuck out in front of me. Most of the LED light bars and whatnot are really good for close-in lighting, but they don't send it very far down the road. I have halogen low beams, and HID high beams along with an LED light bar and two LED ditch lights but still want more.
To get more distance lighting I chose a pair of high power LED projector pods. These things are frickin bright and they send it much further out than any of my other lights.
I bought these pods: https://amzn.to/2OFrU7w the ones pictured were round but I received square ones. I prefer square anyway and the lens and everything looks the same.
They have two elements, one yellow and one white. The yellow element is actually focused down a good amount for use as fog lights and the white is straight ahead for driving/high beam lights. You cannot have both white and yellow on at the same time FYI, if both wires are powered then the white light comes on and overrides the yellow.
I have the yellow wired into my stock fog light switch so I can use it with my low beams and switch them on and off. I have the white wired into a relay triggered by my high beams, this way they come on with my high beams and are easy to switch back off for oncoming traffic.
They fit perfectly into the holes in my Dissent front bumper:
Examples:
Low beams + yellow fogs:
Low beams + high beams + white pods:
LED Light bar + ditch lights + low beams:

And before anyone asks, here are the headlights I have on my truck: https://amzn.to/30BIWGd
