Paul,
I have ordered a set of the high output Xenon bulbs for JC Whitney, haven't
gotten them yet. I seldom get much in the way of fog so fog lights are of
little use. However, there are almost no street lights in the area that I live
and the driving lights are useful. That is why I have installed them. I would
love to get the lights up to the same level as my wife's 03 PT Cruiser, they
are the best I have driven behind.
