Anyone with driving lights on their Caravan/Voyager?

I think I've figured out a good Christmas present for my Dad. It's only three months left now and I hate the rush the last few days before Christmas when I still haven't bought anything. Anyway, when I was out driving my Camaro the other night I was impressed, like every fall, with the driving lights. Remebering from, among other times, a ski trip we took last winter that the high beams on my parents' '98 Grand Caravan are mostly a joke. Now, the low beams are pretty good, but the brights could need an improvement, and fortunately that's easily done.

So, has anyone in this group added a pair of driving lights to their Caravan or Voyager? The way I see it there are two way to go; either get something big and only have it mounted during the dark season, or go small and discreet. Knowing my Dad, he wants something that doesn't look ugly or is in the way. My first thought was something to mount on the license plate bracket, but now I think I've found the perfect spot right next to the fog lights. There are four rectangular holes in the lowest part of the bumper of which the two outer look big enough to fit the same driving lights I have, Hella FF 75's. If anyone would like to try this, please do so and report back to the group if it works. :-)

Thanks,

Ulf

Your first thought was much better -- those "wing" devices that incorporate a license plate bracket and mounting spots for two or four lamps will put the "driving lamps" up where they can do some good (near headlamp height) and in that location they're less likely to be damaged by road rocks. "Driving lamps" (auxiliary high beams) are severely limited in their ability to help when mounted down low near the fogs.

Lamps: Bosch Compact 100s, see

Thanks for your input, but I can't say I care too much for the design of those lights. I'd rather go with a set of Hella FF 300's, they both look better and can handle 100w bulbs. However, as I said, I'm very impressed by the driving lights on my own Camaro, and those are mounted even lower than they would be on the Caravan. And the difference between properly mounted driving lights and low mounted driving lights is a lot smaller than low mounted driving lights and no driving lights at all.
