you can have extra 'driving lights' hooke dup to your high beams, but high beams are generally illegal to use in built up areas.. the issue is that many ppl have the low mounted 'driving lights' hooked up to their low beams, and they create too much light that strays toward driver eye level. LOL, there is an issue about the legality of either falcon or commodore 'driving lights' on one of the last models... they are actually too bright to be parking lights, and too low to be headlights, so can only be called 'driving lights'. a number of ppl have been booked for having them on, even tho they are woired up from factory to go with the low beams. the manufacturer had said that they would not accept responsibility for tickets issued for the lights.... afaik, low beam can consist of only two 55w lights, and high beam is meant to be limited to 60W per globe (so those 90-120W globes sold at K-mart are in fact illegal) anyhoo, Cya, Stewart [Report message to a moderator]
