Maybe I was not specific enough. The lights are bright, they just are not
focused. Driving lights and fog lights serve two different functions. One is
a very focused light and the other is a diffused light. My complaint about
these lights is that they are not focused. Having been around in the 60s
when it seems like these things were important to the manufacturer a good
driving light would shoot out a beam of light far ahead of the vehicle and at
the
end of the beam of light it was still largely contained on the roadway. These
knockoff lights produce a lot of light but around the reach of the regular
high beams it becomes ambient light that lights the trees, etc. Driving
lights are supposed to be focused to provide reach on the roadway beyond the
regular headlights. These lights just kind of brighten up the reach of the
regular headlights. I could have done that with 10 gauge wire and relays to
the
high and low beams on the regular headlights.
Driving lights, as they are sold today on modern cars mostly have fluted
lenses and you will notice that when you turn them on, they provide an "assist"
to the regular headlights as well as better light the shoulders of the road.
>From my experience, this is not what they are supposed to do as "driving
lights".
