looking for driving light reccomendation...

[Larry C Leung]

I had Hella 181's driving lights (long since superceded) on my GTi. They
were awesome, but were replaced with a Euro light grille. About the same
output. Had 181 fogs on the 4KQ, excellent (recently posted about their
excellent cut off) fog lights, saved my butt in dense snowfall where
others couldn't see and pulled off road. Had the road all to myself (and
truckers with fogs). BTW, my fogs will run with city/parking lights as
well as with low beams (to meet local inspection codes, IMHO, if you can
see with low beams, there is no point of running fogs).
