DRL's as switchable fog lights........

[buddy]

The DRL's are for YOU to be seen, not for you to see. The optics are similiar to a flashlight.
We can install white, blue and yellow bulbs, but still won't get anything more than a glare on the wall. The DRL's should have been designed with better optics, some that could also be used as fogs.

One suggestion, buy quality lighting and you'll be much happier when you get on the road.
I've been a Hella user for many years and been very satisfied with their products. Some lighting is not worth the time installing.

Recently, I did a Cibie cornering light install, which replaced my Hella Black Magic's on the brush guard. The optics on the Cibie's create light much like a fog beam, but much wider,( 75 m wide) over 200 m down the road. They are awesome and have some well designed optics. Mine are wired thru a relay and activated by highbeams. Cibie also makes the driving version with same housing which I'll be installing soon.

Piaa makes some good lighting. I think Mango was installing some 510's or 540's awhile back, but don't know what the outcome was. I like to change the DRL's too if anyone finds some lights that will fit. Rewiring to work is no problem.
