Drving lights

[TheGr8Schlotzky]

Alright i have a 96, i have headlight covers (carbon fiber) but at night with street lights and in certain daytime lighting, they look stupid. I am going to buy some nightshades for my side markers and taillights, and i was thinking about doing my covers too, to make them just all black.

I have fogs, but i was thinking, if i blacked my headlight covers i would need more light, so i want to get some driving lights instead of using the headlights. So what should i get? they will be covered by my billet anyway, so it doesn't matter how they look when off, just as long as they fit where the old foglights go..

Hey ^ have you ever been pulled over for driving at night without your headlights on?

Re: Drving lights

Just outta curiosity, how much of a PITA were those lights to install? I know I dread just changing my fog light bulbs! They look really mean in that black front end, though.

BlackMaro i can't get over how nice your car looks....:drool: :drool:

I have the 93-97 front end though, so would those lights work with mine still? I have a billet grill to hide them, but how much of a pain is it to wire them in?

Re: Drving lights

took about 2 or 3 hours. only b/c we stopped and had a few brews and stuff. it's not hard but tedious.

Re: Drving lights

Those are prety cool.. I was wondering though, is there something i could use to replace my foglights that would be as bright or brighter than headlights that are fairly cheap? My headlight covers take away from the functionality, and my brights are hardly noticable..

Re: Drving lights

that i'm not sure of. i know that my lights are 85w which are brighter than my brights, and a more pure white color. i didn't find anything cheaper, but i didn't look that hard. i'm sure someone prolly knows a cheaper and more practical fix.
