Can anyone tell me the dimensions of factory fog lights and or Camp914 pilot lights? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Depth & diameter etc. After a bunch of poking around, all I have seen is everyone doing the same thing or adding large bolt on rally style lights. Thanks for your help guys!

I would say that the sharpness of the light is not on par with HID projectors. Matt |

I have the Camp914 Pilots on the Red car, and can't adjust them low enough so I don't get highbeamed by oncoming traffic, and still make them usable. If I were to do it again, I'd go with refurbing a set of factory fogs. The mounting is just too low to be any good as driving lights.

That's why I think these lights will work well. They have a built in cut-off, and can be had in a high/low beam switchable model.
If you want driving light, add on some Rennmetal Hella brackets.
