Some freaky lights

Can't imagine why he bothered.
Also check out the Hella rallye 4000 compact celis...verry sweet. Wonder how much they weigh?

The reason I ask is because of this:
"Good (and legal) fog lamps produce white or Selective Yellow light, and use tungsten-halogen bulbs. Xenon or HID bulbs are inherently unsuitable for use in fog lamps, and blue or other-colored lights are also the wrong choice."

Something about that "inherently unsuitable" tell me that in foul whether they are not the best choice?

If your driving lights work good for you then I added some PIAA driving lights to my other car which I use, before the SUN comes up, on side road in conjunction with the lows because I have them aimed downward rather than Upward and out as your supposed to. I would bet your getting the same effect as me with your low lights (although your getting twice the light). Of course, having SIX lights on IS illegal is every state .... stay away from those fixit tickets!

I spray painted the lower HID fogs with a spray tint yellow. They worked good and are a lot brighter than OEM fogs..

Spunky, another question about the Out Motoring bracket... How far does it extend past the grill? I have the M7 grill which mounts a little farther outward than the stock one. I'm worried about clearance issues. It would have to make it at least out to the bumper above the grill. A pic from the side would be great.

It did give me a moment's pause, though, having to cut two holes in my brandy-new grille for the light supports to pass through.

As for 6 lights being illegal. They are, but any time they are on, no one else had better be around so you shouldn't have to worry too much about a cop seeing you

Just the other day I was on a side street, totally dark and a deer was running along side me on the grass. I slowed down and he ran parallel for a quarter mile before he found a place to take off through a fence up towards the HIGHWAY!
They are great for watching out for those critters

Actually, with the lights mounted there's only an inch and a half or so between the back of the lights and the grille, so it would be pretty unobtrusive if I'd blown the pass-through holes anyway. But it would be the sort of thing that would drive me nuts.

Could you please measure and let me know just how much room you have in inches.
I am looking to install HID driving lamps and have noticed that most are pretty thick.
If you could measure at the base along with the widest area to give my an idea of what kind of range I will need to work in..
Thanks for the help !!

OEM lights, though small seem fairly deep, so it seems there would be little issue with room on grill lights, but unclear for lower grill.
How about weight? Some of the metal body and HID lights look fairly hefty. Anybody have a clue? Any vibration issues with the mini madness brackets?
