    I have a Rocky Road front brush bar that I installed about a year ago with some 3.5" Warn fog lights. Didnt like the type of light they produced plus the product just isn't that great. I guess it's why Warn discontinued it. What I liked about it is that it has a remote switch. So I kept the wire harness and purchased some 4.5" Nilite LED lights off of Amazon.

    You get 4 for $30. Never heard of the brand but it is super cheap.

    This my Jeep with the Warn lights.

    So the wiring harness came with screws to drill into the side of the engine compartment to hang the wireless switch and relay. But since it is too tight to fit I got some double sided velcro tape and attached the relay to the battery cover and the switch to the fuse box cover.

    Then the instructions say to drill a hole in the plastic cover but it is possible to snake the wiring down and in front of the front grill.

    Then I cut the wires to my old lights and attached the new lights using new bullet splice disconnect pairs.

    Wired in the new lights, taped it up and voila. 20190108_162035.jpg
    And in all its glory.

    Used some more velcro tape to put the switch to the left of the steering wheel. 20190115_091747.jpg

    I like the idea of a remote for your lights. Have you noticed any issues with it (slow, not working)?

    Just when the battery is dying. From what I've seen and researched Warn is the only product with a remote. I think they have discontinued their fog light products though.
