Editor’s Choice: The Best Off Road Fog Light
FLEX ERA® 3 Dual Mode SAE Lights

We’ve got our hands early on the FLEX ERA® 3 Dual Mode SAE and it’s just an amazing piece of technology in a form factor which is arguably the most creative off road light design of the last few years. We can definitely say it was worth the wait, as it’s a unique dual-mode light that features a street legal SAE fog beam and a high-power off-road spot beam.
As our focus in this scenario is on off road capable fog lights, we believe that the FE3 Dual hits the sweet spot in terms of functionality for both casual and hardcore off roaders. Coupled with high-quality accessories such as interchangeable lens and bezels and accompanied by multiple mounting solutions & positions for a variety of vehicles popular with the off road crowd, we expect this light to become the new standard for off road fog lights.

“From foggy mornings on the roads to dusty nights in the dirt, we have you covered by including both clear and selective yellow lenses. Use the clears for the maximum amount of brightness and for the purest version of the FE3 DM SAEs. Switch it up and run the yellows for peak penetration through heavy rain, fog, snow, and dust.”
