Picking up 2021 RT Ltd next weekend. Live in Seattle/Tacoma area, so fog lights are a must have. Suggestions?

I have always said you can't have too many lights. We put fogs/driving lights on all our Spyders. Even though we did not live in "foggy" areas, the extra lighting was always welcome. All the lights, all the time were common practice when we lived in Alaska. And yes, in summer we had almost 23 hours of daylight where we were. In Arkansas, we did not see much "extra" lighting going on, so most of the time during the day, we used what was automatic. :thumbup:

I mounted a set on the inner front fenders. Ran the wiring to the accessory lead on right side. Mine are spots, but floods are an option. many choices on Amazon...

If you want some fog lights that are plug and play Lamonster Garage has a great set of fog lights. I believe Spyderpops does too.

I told my dermatologist that folks in the Pacific northwest don’t tan in the winter, they rust. That raised a chuckle!

I recommend a color temperature of 3,000 to 3,500 Kelvin. Better distance for you and less glare for oncoming drivers. Higher color temperatures provide more light although shorter distance and more glare for oncoming drivers. Plexus Plastic Window Cleaner helps to reduce glare from oncoming drivers. Aerostich and some other glove makers include a wiper blade on one finger -- very useful.

Hi Bert. I'm in agreement on the lower Kelvin temperature rated lights... but they are hard to find as the marketing world has convinced the unknowing buyer that the high Kelvin temperature lights (those glaring white to bluish lights) are the best. They provide a lot of glare for oncoming drivers... so they must be the best and brightest - NOT! The lower Kelvin temperature lights not only put more usable light on the road, but they also are less fatiguing and easier on the eyes. However, they are harder to find and typically are found in high-end driving and fog lights.

Soon as I get time to locate, or maybe fabricate a pair of brackets, I will likely put a pair of Denali D3 Combos with their Dial Dim controller on my 21RTL. These are in the top shelf group for quality and construction and the Dial Dim can be configured to run the D3 lights at a reduced power setting while on Low Beam, and then increase the power up to 100% when High Beam in selected. The only drawback is the $$$.

Not a direct “fog” light but SpyderPops led bump skid has helped few encounters fog & critters:firstplace::2thumbs:
