Looking for Driving Lights Suggestions

Hi to all have an 06 Mega Cab (My 1st Diesel cant believe I drove/towed all these years with out one!) with the OEM bumper (holes for "fog" lights) but the Pick up came with out "fog" lights. I figured I could get better quality less cost(?) going to aftermarket "Driving" lights. Anyway I do very little offroad but lots if driving in rural area roads. So I believe my application would be "driving lights". Does anyone have any suggestions for lots of "power/distance" lights but will go in the oem "holes"? KC? PIAA? etc...?
Thanks to all

I want to do the same thing and I am looking at the Warn dual beams. I think that they will fit, but we would have to make some brackets.

Warn

I've been meaning to take some pics. Let me get to it. I will not forget you. I know how it feels to not know.

Just to tease you, it looks like the truck should have come with 315's. It looks normal not overly lifted or too small. You know like I do that it is a large truck, but my jeep on 6" and 33's is a bigger Jeep than the truck is relatively. Side by side though, the truck is bigger.

I call the look athletic as oppossed to squatty or tall. It tows great as well.

Have you considered a HID kit? They are kinda pricey, but they don't blind people and they have that blue tint, and are much brighter than normal lighting at a lower wattage. Might look odd with factory headlights though.

Airplane landing lights. If you want light, and I mean lots light, they are the ticket. I have had them on every truck I have owned.

Stock alternator. Each bulb pulls 20 amps, well within the limits of the system.
