I think they look better down a bit lower. Anyone?

I like the lower mount, it looks more road racing. The high mounting looks too rally. If they’re fog lamps then I’d definitely say low, but if they’re driving lights the high might be better the better way to go.

For looks, if that's the sort of thing you like, low is probably better. To actually SEE with them, the higher the better. In the end, are you a poseur or a seer?

Low.
Nice job on pointing them forward this time Elliot! I guess you only had to learn that lesson once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

Low. Better aero than high configuration, and with roughly 70,000 times the candlepower of the stock D-cell flashlight beams, you should have plenty of light!

There might be slightly less rock damage up high... or don't make a decision and do both! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Mine are low. And I do use them to see at night just fine. You'd make better use of them up high, and consequently see even better. Science is on my side, trendiness on yours. Same thing applies to those jerkoffs that drive around in perfectly clear nights, blinding oncoming traffic with their over-amped fog lights lit. Such use actually REDUCES your ability to see at a distance. Many of us prefer to see what's ahead in time to avoid it, not wait until it's too close to miss. The Cap'n |
