I have a Wrangler and I installed my BD SAE amber fog on the bumper on Auxilary switch. I have a Gladiator Mojave with the same Sahara bumper. Im wondering should I get the pocket amber SAE's or bumper mount them. I will have more controll on the Auxilary switch, but more install time. I like the amber over the led white driving lights. Not sure what direction I should go.

For me, I’d say mount the pocket ones controlled off the fog light switch. Easy to install and if you later decide to install a switch panel it leaves a spot open for something else. They can of course still be used as trail lights but it’s an ease of function and control in my opinion.

I have the Mopar auxilary switches. I know i wont use them up. I use Aux 1 for my BD Amber's and Aux 3 and 4 for my back up auxilary lights on my Wrangler. I am leaning towards replacing the lower driving lights. Easy install.

I’ll use my Mopar Aux switches for nonessential things in the Jeep. StarLink, headrest fans, things that aren’t going to affect anything with the drive. Lockers, sway bars, compressors, all that stuff that could be bumped by someone on the passenger side is getting moved to the driver’s side so it’s fully under driver control. It’d be just my luck I’m on an obstacle, in the dark, at the pinnacle and someone bumps the air compressor switch or one of the lights out front that I’m focused on and I’m suddenly blind or loosing grip on a rock the size of the Gladiator and I go arse over tea kettle. šŸ˜‚

I use amber BD SAE fogs in the fog position in the bumper. On bumper mount brackets I use white BD S2s driving combo as driving lights relayed off the high beams to add to the halogens, which I keep for snow. It all works well, practical for day-to-day and trails without being over the top.
