    i just got my driving lights hooked up last weekend. LED's too! toggle switch to turn on/off with the marker lights. low and high beam too. haven't hooked up the hi beam trigger yet so just low beams right now.

    One reason for that might be morons installing leveling kits and forgetting their headlights need to be aimed again.

    Then you have the steering wheel holders who are skeeered of the dark running their fog lights on sunny daze and clear nights.

    How’s that saying go? If it’s too bright, you’re too old.

    its all subjective...i have 4 sae/dot leds in my headlight housings,which doesn't mean a whole lot anymore but they are remarkably glare free. nobody has a problem until they get close enough to see i have all 4 wired up on low beam. then they flash. i guess they can count to four still.

    i want to find different ones for my driving lights. these are the 15 led style. which kinda suck.

    i gotta lol when a freightliner flashes me. they have the worst lights on the road. i'd rather have a light bar on next to me.
