OEM or Aftermarket Foglights?
My truck didn't come with the foglights on it and I really want some. So should I go with the OEM or Aftermarket Foglights and why? And can I get green tinted bulbs for them

I'd go with aftermarket. The factory one's pretty much suck; they vibrate a lot and the light output is horrible. You'd be better off getting a nice set of PIAAs or something like that which also includes the harness already. You can swap out to green bulbs but I think it would severely affect light output negatively.

I also say aftermarket. I originally had factory fogs till I melted them with some different bulbs. I then got some Hella FF75 which had great light output and fit well in the inner tow hook openings. Only problem was they had a glass lens that got broke/cracked very easily from road debris. This may not be as bad of a problem for you since your truck isn't lowerd. I would definately suggest looking into something with a polycarbonate lens though.

I've got at set of OEM fog lights that I pulled out of my truck when I put the SS facia on mine. I only have the lights, the wiring, switch and everything else is in the truck and is staying there. If you want them PM me.

Which fog lights fill up the gap the best? I kinda want one big enough to fill the whole thing up. Also does anyone know off hand what the deminsions are on the fog light or tow hook holes in the bumper?

I think the OEM fog lights are the ones that fill up the gap the best I have thinking about this for a while and I decided I am going with OEM Fog lights....
