Driving light - Looking for eyelids

Hi guys,

I installed a pair of Catz driving light in front of my '00 4runner ... They are wonderful.

The only problem I have is in heavy snow or rain fall, a part of the light projected is too high and it blinds me when it reflects on snow flakes.

I tought about adding «Eyelids» on the upper part of each beam to block any upwar lights ray. What do you think about that ? I used to have some on my motorcycle and it was working pretty well.

But, I can't find any for my aux driving lights. Usually, Google is my friend but I am not sure that I am searching for the good part (is it calld an eyelid ?)

Please let me know what you think and where I could find the product I am looking for.

Have fun
Frank

It has more to do with it being a driving light pattern as opposed to a fog light beam pattern. Also aiming of the lights and height of the lights will all affect what reflects.

My light model is FET Catz spot pattern - 11 degree light beam. They actually adjusted approximately the same heigt as my low beam.

I will try to put visors on them to see if any improvements
Thanks
