Driving Lights
Ok guys, I got the kit in Yesterday and installed them this morning. Figured I would give yall a quick critic of how it went. First thing is I HIGHLY recommend this product, it looks completely stock and the parts were all a perfect fit. Installation was a breeze by simply following the instructions that are included with the kit. Everything you need is included in the box for the advertised price.... Lights, screws, wiring harness, switch, Bumper inserts, instructions, even the wire ties.... The added benefit of getting the "Automatic feature" is really nice too. Entire installation took about an hour and a half. Here are a few pics of the finished product..

Those are fog lights, not driving lights. Two totally different beam patterns and uses. But if you don't care about the difference and were just going for "the look" then it doesn't really matter.
Driving Lights, Fog Lights, White Lights, Yellow Lights, who gives a Rats ****, they add extra visibility and allow for increased sight distance and wider viewing angle (especially useful in areas with a lot of Deer.) The Mustang is one of the only cars with separate "driving lights" mounted in the grill, in most all other cars "Driving Lights" are white, for extra distance and angles, and Fog Lights are Yellow, to illuminate the area while reducing the glare of the lights off the fog. Guess it all depends on where you are from and what you’re used to.... If you want to really get down to the Nutt cuttin, they are all called "Auxillary Lighting"

Bulb temperature is up to the individual but driving lights are typically used during clear dark conditions so a 4000k -5000k bulb provides very good illumination beyond your headlight beam throw. Higher temps provide less USEABLE light.
Fog lights are typically used during dark, rainy, snowy or foggy conditions. Lower temp bulbs (2500k-3000k) provide better contrast to see the sides of the road better beyond the throw of the headlights. If you've ever been on un-lined roads in dense fog at night you know exactly what I mean.
But again, if you're looking to just be what some consider fashionable and you think looking like something from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is all that matters, then ignore what you may have just learned.
I'm not denying that you've added to the overall pleasing look of your front end. I'm just stating facts.

Nuke,
Your missing the point, no matter what you want to call them, Driving, fog, auxillary, whatever.... I was simply trying to tell people how easy they were to install and how all of the components necessary to put them in and get them operational was included along with a great set of instructions to take you thru the steps. I was simply trying to pass on a good recomendation for someone looking to add lights for safety and value. wasn't looking to get corrected on verbage or to get a lesson on light patterns. Just wanted to share a pleasant experience about a vendor and a product. I apologize if I offended your sense of illumination and science fiction movies....
