Looking to add a driving lamp to a '06 Camry for a friend. The idea is to knock out the Toyota emblem on the grille and stick a driving light in place of the emblem. This way, we solve the number one problem of adding driving lights to sedans: mounting height too low. I know better than to stick a driving lamp where the fog lamps would go. Aesthetics aren't a concern; the only car washes this thing has seen since conception has been (acid) rain.
A light bar was considered, but there's not really a great place to mount them that's up high without turning the light bar into a crash bar as well. A license plate mount would work for a light bar...but the light bar would the first thing hit in any sort of parking lot bump/scrape.
So, we were considering this lamp:

The frontal surface area approximates a 3x5 index card, and the hole left by removing the emblem would pretty much allow the driving lamp to work unfettered. Is this a good lamp, though? There is no beam diagram for this lamp on Hella's website.
