Default i am installing driving lights in my sixxer!!!

hey morning everybody, after blacking out all my lights and driving a far distance two days ago i have come to the conclusion that i can see a THING! so i have purchased a pilot driving light set with halogen bulbs, and i am wiring it to a nitrous switch. I will post pics later today if anyone wants to see them on a mustang. off to shucks for now (i have to pic up more wiring)

I'm interested in seeing pics. Hopefully, you're not using the stock fog lamp assemblies for these. If so, you'll be disappointed with the throw (distance) of your beam.

Okay, so you illegally blacked out your headlights to the point you can't see, and now you're adding driving lights so you can see again?

Well, that makes perfect sense

And after he blacks those out we'll go with airplane landing lights. Let's just see where this goes...

HID's in all the bulb housing will help visability quite a bit

I had Headlight and FOglight hids on my last car....soon for this car
and I could see for MILES (exxageration) lol but you get what i'm saying....
