And Win, those ain't fog lights you're lookin' at y'know? I don't know why they're calling the "spot" beam a DRL? They are usually reserved for Rally cars and off roaders. I would think the "marker" light would be a better choice for that?
I'd be surprised if they were DOT approved in any state's laws? Please note the legal disclaimer at the bottom of the description.

I looked at the description a little more closely and have to wonder how they get the equivalent of 110w out of one 55w H3 and only 85w (relative) output from the other?
These are basically driving light w/extras. Driving lights should always be connected to the high beam circuit and adjusted to supplement them. They should also be mounted as close to the height of the high beams and go out when the low beams are chosen. Otherwise you'll **** off a lot of oncoming drivers as you completely blind them going by the other way.
You sure you want these?
Also, I did not see a size listed. Will they fit in the space that you intend for them?

In light fog, perhaps, but in REAL fog, your high beams will reflectmore light back to your eyesthan shine forward through the fog.

Ya' can't change the basic laws of physics. Learn them and you'll know much more about how the world works.

No, no, NO!! Too hi-tech. Start w/the basics. .. like the effects of gravity on aspecific mass, etc.
