I have clocked around 10,000 KMs under my ownership and have crossed the 97500 KMs total mark on the odometer

Hiii guys! So good to be now a part of this thread in which I can contribute, owing to the fact that I got an Ecosport 2018 T+ TDCi last August.
It was a sweet sweet deal, and I am verrry happy with the purchase, and she is turning out to be every single bit I was hoping.
The transition from a Honda City automatic, to a manual Diesel was also blissful as I am not having any major issues with the clutch or the gearbox – as my usage is 30% City and 70% open roads / highway.
I have clocked around 10,000 KMs under my ownership and have crossed the 97500 KMs total mark on the odometer, and she’s running along nicely.
I made a few cosmetic additions – racing stripe kit (which makes her look extremelyyy hot), illuminated door sills, sporty pedal covers, and rear spoiler – all official Ford accessories, couldn’t believe how cheap I got them for, plus a day 1 addition of 70Mai dashcam.
I recently did a long trip of Mumbai – Ahmedabad and back for the Coldplay concert, solo drive on the return leg, and I was amazed that I did the whole journey in 10 hours flat without need more than one fuel break and one snacks break, it was very comfortable, and I really like the upright sitting posture in the Ecosport as compared to the seating on sofa posture of the Honda City. Plus never had to worry about any speed breakers or potholes and the underbody scraping. I am in love with the car.
HELP: While the previous owners has installed good projector 4100K warm LEDs for the low beam, I want to upgrade the bulbs of fog lamps and for the high beam.
While I hate blinding the oncoming traffic, I am very stringent follower of the “use high beam only when absolutely necessary” rule, but for me to be able to do that, I need a strong and bright throw of the low beam (which is good) but I need powerful fog lamps.
Any suggestions please? Tried and tested ones please, I don’t want to experiment, just install the good VFM ones and be done with it.
I would also like the option of having strong high beams, but that’s a second priority after fogs.
Upcoming planned expenses: A made to order grill, painting the rims white (contemplating), stage 1 tuning, along with some few interior cosmetic colour changes with the help of hydro-dipping!
