Default Aftermarket "fog" lights

The lower valence on my extreme was in an accident lately. I put it back up but the fog lights were broken out. The hole where they used to be is 4x6 and I'm looking for something more interesting than factory fog lights to put in there. Ideas, please!

I snagged some OEM fog light assemblies off an early 2000's Corvette in the junk yard. The brand of them ironically, Blazer. So I felt it fitting to install them onto my Blazer

They're round, so you'll be putting a round peg in a square hole, but the light output is amazing. Great beam pattern, and with a set of 55w HID's in them, I can actually use them as low beam headlights lol

Was pretty easy to mount in my situation. My lower valance is completely gone now; oversized tires started to tare the the outer edges up, then it got in the way of mounting a winch, so I just pulled it off completely... I was able to put some bends in the original Corvette mounting brackets, make a couple new holes in the bottom of the bumper, then secure them with a single bolt. Being that you would be trying to position them in the opening in your valance, you'd probably have to come up with a different mounting solution...

I like the look of those. Do you keep them on all the time?
I have the wiring to the original fog lights and they might actually plug straight in. IDK if they could handle 55w though.

I have them on a stand alone relay circuit, and that circuit is just trigger with the running lights.

My 04 did not originally come with fog lights. I was feeling lazy and didn't want to run a wire into the cab and put in a new switch for them lol, so I just tied them into the existing running light circuit.
