Question Driving Light Suggestions

Hi Everyone,

I've been looking for the 'perfect' driving lights for my '07 RL for a while now. Most are round, some rectangle. I have the PIA light kit for my normal headlamps so I want something as bright as those in a driving light. I also want to keep with the look of the RL, namely the square-style of the headlamps. So, I'm looking for any suggestions on what fellow RLers have done.

Many thanks,

~Steve

Re: Driving Light Suggestions

Is there something wrong with the headlights the Honda Gods have bestowed upon us?

LOL good point Ericwalker thats like spending $10,000 on hair plugs and to don't have the money to heat your house. So it is safe to assume you don't want the factory fog/driving lights ? :)

Re: Driving Light Suggestions

Unless your going to install them yourself, the dealer installed fog lights look like the best. I haven't seen any do-it-yourselfers that looked better.

Re: Driving Light Suggestions

I, for one, support your right to do the mods. Hope you find the lights you want. I'm no help for that.

However, I would like to request that you get in another vehicle and meet your RL on a black asphalt road with no edge stripe in total darkness and see if your arrangement is a safety hazard. I can't tell you how many times I have been blinded by low beams/fog lamps when meeting other trucks with modified lighting (especially that it's-so'white-it's-blue beams).

In short, please practice the Golden Rule: Don't do unto others what you wouldn't do unto yourself.

First you may want to seek knowledge on the difference between driving and fog lights.
