Don't now about e-code compatibility or not, but Hella makes a rectangular
aux low beam light called the XL I bought  for $95 pr. and they're wired to
only be on during low beam operation.  They bumper mount nicely on my glass
90 GL bumpers.  For the money, you can't beat em with a stick!!  Great
lighting laterally.  Haven't tried them in the fog, but they are not
advertised as fog lights.  Bought them from Susquehanna Motor sports in PA.
