There is a perfect spot to mount the ballast under the plastic radiator cover, tucked in the engine bay framing and it's protected by the rubber splash mat thing. Zip tie them in, I've had no trouble over 2 years in KS weather.

I will have to try that. I have noticed that I do get snow on my plastic underbody skid plate but that may be from reversing in deep snow with a lowered truck. I am finding that a small loweing kit requires me to remember curbs and such matter now, haha. but i will check that spot out. Thank you.

DDM 35w 5000k for almost 3 years now and no issues what so ever. I had to cut the pig tail off my wiring and solder in the new one. I saved the old one just in case but after having hid's in my fogs id never go back!

I noticed when I was doing my 80e swap that my fog lights started to melt and I looked at my lows and it looks like they're starting to. Mine are the ddm 35w 5k.

Has anyone tried any LED fogs?
Seeing how popular they've become and the output is pretty high for such a small output bulb and package for that matter.
Thoughts?

I have been thinking about those too. I remember a thread about HID reverse lights but the practicality was not so good. I did find a very bright cree reverse light led that would do much better and they make a fog lamp as well but my 35w 5k's are great. Until someone Hibeams me. Apparently lowering a truck, aiming the fogs better still ticks people off.

That's what I would do, hi beam the crap out of you with my 55w 5k highs and 35w 5k fogs that come on at the same time. That's why I run stock low beams. Unless you buy a correctly designed housing, you throw HID light all over the place, including the eyes of on-coming traffic. Dangerous situation on a 2 lane highway at night. I would never recommend this.
