LED's in place of stock fogs? (2005+)

Anyone run LED driving/offroad lights in place of the factory fogs? I can run a 20" bar, but I like the looks of two cubes to keep the factory look.

I found these but know nothing about them. I'd want the brightest cubes I could find...

I could also run these from Rigid... http://www.socalsupertrucks.com/1999...t---rigid.aspx

I just wired up h.i.d. bulbs/ballasts to the stock housing with 5000K bulbs and 35w ballasts for $100 . Lights up nice and bright. Creates enough heat to keep them from icing up since they are so low to the wintery mess .

The throw is (* subjectively * ) a bit wider and farther. The 5000K color temp helps make the throw more visible then the stock yellow-ish halogen were. I can try to take a pic tonight if it helps. I know that with parking lights only and fogs I can comfortably drive on side streets with plenty of visibility albeit it much lower and shallower then the normal low beams....

I replaced the low/high to 5000K bixenons also. Really made a huge difference in visibility. They are aimed well and haven't had anyone flash their brights at me from glare yet.

I have an off brand, they're 16w and they coat up with ice, but still throw light even iced up. Might be because they're off brand. But since I did my retrofit with a h1 projector housing, they're not really useful for much.

I just put some led H10 bulbs into my factory 2012 fog light housings. A bunch more light but I have been high beamed by oncoming drivers. I also have led headlight bulbs and haven't been high beamed while using those?

I don't plan to run them while having traffic come at me, this would more be used like off-road lights to illuminate more than the highbeams on dark country roads or off-road.

I'd like to run a set of Baja deseigns squadrons, but I'll need to fab up some kind of brackets. Rigid makes brackets, but I think the mounts are way different from a dually to the Baja.
