what's a good driving light for in-town use?
Bud Light?
Your low-beam headlamps.
I think he wanted it in a riddle........
low beams
Ask any Pontiac driver. They seem to use them constantly.
ummmmmm a headlight??????
Fwed
A thoughtfully-selected, properly "fed" (wired), properly aimed set of low beam headlamps.
"Driving light" is an obsolete term, but it will be around for many years to come. It refers to auxiliary *high beam* lamps, never safe or legal for use with low beams or in traffic.

I would think it's not good for the life of the high-beam lamps, either. Halogens run at low voltage, no?
I have hella 300's on my lightning. They fit in the factory holes and bolt right up(on the lightning). They are extremely bright though and not legal. They also sell fog lights in the same model though and they are less bright.
Hella 300s are not very strong performers, but they are perfectly legal
*AS LONG AS YOU WIRE THEM CORRECTLY*. Driving lamps are auxiliary high beams and are neither safe nor legal (anywhere) for use with low beams or in traffic.That is not correct; the total amount of light emitted by the fog lamps and the driving lamps is equal; the beam distribution is different.
Lights you wear on your head.
Duh!
:-P

Then wouldn't those be dick lights??
Oh wait.. you probably mean the other head...
duh! :)
Egg-zachary!!
No not there, getting too old, takes too long switching from low beams to high beams. :-O

what I need are something to supplement the low beams, for the most part. I have a 97 Ford Ranger and the headlights suck, esp. on rainy nights. I would run them separately from the factory lights.
