What type of lights are you looking for? Fogs or driving lights? They are very different from each other.

If you want fogs, don't get HID/Xenon lights because that is counter-productive. For driving lights, they should be ok though. For fogs, a yellow colored light is better to cut through the weather.

Personally, I like Cibie and Hella lights.

here, found a link

or you can get the XSL ones which are pretty small. just search "catz fog" on ebay.

Fogs have a wide beam with a sharp cut off upwards (the good ones anyway) and illuminate the area immediately in front of your car.

Driving lights have a narrower pattern, illuminate further down the road and upwards and are for supplementing your high beams. These will blind oncoming traffic in the same way that your high beams will.

i want something which i can have on at all times togather with my regular lights to create a brighter visual area

WhiteRabbit · 07-29-2005, 04:45 PM

you can leave fogs on for quite awhile with your regular lights

terrastrife · 07-29-2005, 04:49 PM

or you can get better headlight bulbs

If i leave on the fogs on all the time, wil i blind people, or should i get driving lights for better vision. or just good fogs with great visual enhancement, anyone can recommend nice ones?

WhiteRabbit · 07-29-2005, 08:56 PM

get fogs. and no you wont blind anyone unless youve got them aimed very high for some odd reason. fogs dont add much light, to me anyways, my headlights just drown them out. but it does make it easier for other cars to see you.

recommendations?

piaa, hella, catz. i have catz and love em.

Driving lights will only help you in situations where you would use your high beams. Fogs put out light immediately in front of your car so you can see the road in poor weather.

If you plan to leave them on all the time, go with fogs.
