    Auxiliary headlamps

    Housings are getting harder to find then they used to be. We gave up and went with a set that came completly ready to mount. We have a Smittybilt bar with JW Speaker low beams mounted to them on our F150. Really happy with this set up. JW Speker makes a couple units already in a housing...

    This is why we need REAR fog lamps

    Has it ever been established through research that rear fog lights provide a safety benefit beyond other means such as using the hazard warning lights? As this forum is so often reminded there is a major difference in subjective opinion and objective fact. One study from the University of...

    The 2018 Rolls Royce Wraith is equipped with HID. At least the lower level ones priced around $340,000.

    Correct way to Wire Rear Fogs?

    It would be personal preference in many places. As an FYI California has the requirement that rear fog(s) may be turned on only when headlights are on and there must be a switch to turn them off while headlights are still on. This state also specifies an amber pilot light to indicate when the...

    Move south? Less winter, less intrusion...depending on where in the south, less Tim Horton, but they mail order.

    Selective Yellow Headlamps

    Sadden, just curious if this applies to your situation. This is from Daniel Stern concerning BC vehicle inspection procedures: “In Canada, headlamps must emit white light within the beam they produce. The light may be tinted slightly blue or slightly yellow and still meet the requirement for...

    PIAA LED Reflector Series Any Good?

    Good fog lights do offer some benefit that even if small, makes it worth the expense for me. In a 1995 study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, Michael J Flannagan, Michael Sivak, Eric C. Traube and Masami Aoki tell us, “Thus, while high foreground illumination does...

    "Quad dual beam" halogens on '17 Ford Super Duty

    I would just get the quad-beam LED's. No alternator concerns, less worry of a light going out and better leather also. One of the great reasons to own a pickup is the ease of adding additional lighting.

    This is the problem

    In the OP's link, I noticed that nobody answered the question posted by the person named David Chan. He asked about approval by a DOT. This is a great question. While the United States Federal DOT does not approve anything, many State DOT's do indeed approve specific brands and models of vehicle...
