I heard somewhere that it's bad to drive with your fog lights on in the dark when there is no fog because it lights up the road, causing your eyes to focus more on the fully visible road. Supposedly the well-lit road moving along really fast below you can cause driver dizziness....

 

That switch is a great idea. Something like the old style dimmer switches that can turn them all on, or off quick like if you do happen to meet a car. I will have to remember this, nice idea.

How much better is it driving with the KCs over the stock hi beams? Im not sure what kind of lights I should be looking at. Hellas are hella expensive (ha!) and KC is a bit cheaper, and a known brand at least. I want something that will let me see my house 20 miles away as soon as I pull out of town



I can understand this quite easily. If Im driving slower I do find myself doing this from time to time, but Im usually burning that $3.20 gas as fast as I can so Im forced to look as far forward as I can. They really do brighten it up right infront of you even though you dont need the light right there, but they throw a lot of light out to the sides, which is very nice.

 

I can't really tell I'm using my brights with the 150w KC daylighters on. The daylighters have a tighter beam and really pump out the lumens. Plus they add like a mile to the visible distance in pitch black. Animal eyes blaze too when the lights hit them. I got them off ebay cheap but you can get them online for under $140 easy. The ones I got are the 623 listed here:

I got the switch from McMaster.com #5374T25. I just put some velcro on the back and stuck it to my weathertech mats. It a momentary switch so you have to keep your foot on it to keep the lights on. Works great especially for those a-holes who like to flash you at the last second. My foot is always ready to kick.

 

Hey, thanks for the info Impact
