Did a bunch of research on headlight and foglight options, and settled on the "buy once, cry once" philosophy. I cried. A lot. 
Settled on the Alpharex NOVA series LED projector headlights. Click here
And went with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Max LED fog lights. Click here
I wanted quality lights, good cutoffs (too many people driving poor quality stuff and blinding people), and a ton of light. Yes, I just spent $1600 on lighting.
Install went easy (besides the usual GM asshattery of having to rip apart the entire front end) - headlights were plug and play, but they did take a little finagling to get tight gaps with the fenders. The foglights came with all the necessary adapters to make them plug and play as well, and you simply re-use the 6 button clips holding on the OEM fog housings.
One final mod will be adding the 6-light module, so the fogs stay on when the brights are activated.
First impressions....
Headlight cutoff is super-sharp. A buddy riding with me joked that I can use the cutoffs as an aiming reticle if I ever add James Bond-style machine guns up front. A little more narrow of a throw than I'd like. But super-smooth light distribution with zero hot or cold spots. I give them a 9/10, only because I'd like them a little wider of a beam.
Foglights are stupid-bright with a ridiculously-wide throw. You can't overstate how much they light up the periphery. This is great for me because we live in an area heavy with deer. I joke with a buddy that I'm going to start stenciling his Tundra because he's struck 14 deer. Just a ton of light, all where it needs to go. Now, my only complaint is the the foglights are manual - I have to turn them on every time I get in. The 6-hi mod will help somewhat. On a scale of 1-10, I give them a 15. Seriously.
