First mods to my Special - are factory fogs worth the $$?

[VIOLENTCHEF]

Just got my 2021 F3sS. Fender chop ordered. So is a rear Elka stage 2. Waiting for them to get here.
So here is my question. Are factory foglights worth the extra money?

 

[ARtraveler]

No. Go to Lamonster Garage or Spyderpops. I believe they are $189 or so. Factory is $534.

IPS fogs from Lamonster. They are plug and play. Your byke is factory wired for them. It won't look aftermarket..

It has been re-ported that BRP has made the Fog lights better so investigate that first ...... otherwise I'd buy some DRL's from Denali ( about the same cost ).... they make night into DAY .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Consider that they provide very little light for the cost ..... I'd buy some DRL's from Denali ( about the same cost ).... they make night into DAY .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

The new LED's we are talking about are bright enough to knock your socks off. We are going to add the headlights when we go to Hot Springs.

Thanks for this info .... BRP obviously got the message and up-graded them :clap::clap:..... Mike :thumbup:

 

[VIOLENTCHEF]

Thanks folks, yeah, definitely going to put new bulbs in the headlights. I want the fogs because i do a fair amount of country road driving. Deer, turkey and coyote. I want as much peripheral lighting as possible.

Does that mean BRP spots went from$500 to $800 since they are improved?

I recently added foglights to my 2071 F3L and did a lot of research on what to buy, and I wanted to install myself. For me, Lamonster IPS lights were the best choice at $189 US dollars. I watched the video many times so I knew what I needed to do. It was very easy to install and tool about 45 minutes - totally plug-n-play. I cannot believe how bright the lights are. They will also make a strong case for LED headlights which I bought at the same time.

The foglights are simply outstanding and I have no buyers remorse at all.

Spyderpops has the same ones. Also a site sponsor.

 

[VIOLENTCHEF]

Yeah, they are out of stock as well. Thank you though......

I got mine from sling mods 179.00 good pricing and the lighting is night and day difference when driving at night... now i just have to do the front headlights to match but im in no hurry...will be ordering that from slingmods as well..

 

[PharaohRider]

Sling Mods looks to be out too. :gaah:

 

[VIOLENTCHEF]

Yeah, seems like they are stuck on the evergreen or something. Pharoahrider. Looks like we have similar taste

Similar tastes or 0 options...??? One in the same. :roflblack:

Well at least the F3sS option was in our favor. Still waiting for that call from the dealer to go pick mine up.

I just got my 2020 back in March with the led upgrades and the fog lights. They are so bright that I cant use them. Every time I do it upsets the people in front of me and they always hit their brakes when I approach from at least 10 car lengths back.

IMHO they are not focused correctly ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

 

[VIOLENTCHEF]

Yeah I was wondering how adjustable the aftermarket lights are. From what I saw BRPs have 3 adjust screws from the back

That's why I put my (4) frontal aux lights on a switch. Routed/wired to my frunk accessory circuit.
