Fog Lights vs. Driving Lights

waross · 03-11-2006, 06:06 PM

I didn't go with the stock fog lamps due to the hefty price tag but the car look as if it missing something with nothing down there. Fog isn't that big an issue in the Chicagoland area and was considering driving lights instead. Good for going down country roads and lighting the way. I was considering Hella FF50 and am going to measure to see how well they would fit. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. The hellas measure 2 9/16" x 4 5/8"

You could get the OEM lights for about $200. I'm sure you could find some aftermarket lights for cheaper but I'd rather have the OEM ones.... just for that stock look.

Does anyone else have a comment

200 is cheap considering what other people are spending on other various parts for their cars. If you aren't going to use them or don't see yourself justifying the price, then forget it.

I got an Si without fogs, but I'm ordering a pair in the near future. :P

Yeah I got my Si without fogs, but just ordered some OEM's. Big savings when you don't buy from a dealer and install them on your own.

driving light has different light beam pattern and at that level(low) it won't help much
