The fogs have an outside plastic ring (see first post) that I cut off to make it more flush, but not completely flush. I had to make a bracket so they would fit, but I'm sure had my front end been stock they would have bolted in. The Vertex copy I have has NO mounting area for fogs...ouch.

I would have to agree.......the OEM is definitely worth it, although this is a great alternative. As for beam pattern, it's just fog lights......I don't think it's gonna make a big difference or anything. People mount aftermarket fog lights all the time and it's perfectly fine. Get it if you wanna go a little cheaper or if you think it looks better.

I'd like to see them on an OEM 97+ bumper.
I definitely like this idea. OEM is nice, but for the cost? I think I'll pass and get the Intrepid ones.
I could care less if they are from an Intrepid. I can always tell people its OEM...lol. Most people won't even know.
OLT is right about Dodge lenses getting yellow, or foggy. I see first generation Dodge Neon's with headlights that look like someone did their business and filled the inside. They look gross. I would just make sure that as soon as you get a pair to wet sand them and apply some wax. Popping them open and cleaning them wouldn't hurt either. Apply some Rain-Ex or similar on the inside too. That should last a while.
Nice find though. I'll definitely be doing this. Too bad the 300M fogs are different, as there is one not far from me in a junk yard.

These are from a 2000. They are flawless. Ours (at least all that I have ever seen) are yellowed beyond repair. I dunno...these seem far better quality.

I like the clear lens!
