If your after something better, scroll through ebay you'll find something

CHEERS TIM.

Yeah I've been looking on E-Bay, but I have no idea when it comes to lights.
I thought that you want fog lights mounted low so they don't illuminate the whole cloud in front of you, but cut under it.

You are most likely right, i wouldn't have a clue
They just look neat

Fog lights should be mounted low and close. Low W's also. Driving lights high and far apart and crank up the W's.

Be careful of regulations relating to wiring and mounting height there are plenty of cases of police pulling over 4X4 drivers to explaine things

Lights mounted that high are illegal in most states if used on-road.

Low profile lights usually have poor optics.

These would fit and give good light output:

Hella Comet FF 50 or 75 Series

I'm a bit scared now. With 2" lift and 2" chassis with 33"s I don't want to attract any more attention from the fuzz. I'll ask my cop mate on the ruling, but I think I'll just mount some thin lights on my bumper instead.

These are the RTA/ADR rules for heavy vehicles, but I am sure it is the same for Light vehicles.

Note - max height to light centres is 1400 mm above the ground. Maximum 2, 4, or 6 lights (3 pairs).
