Driving Lights - Which are Good ?

Hi all,
I want to install a set of driving lights inset in the grill of my 98 Limited. Just wondering who has had good results from their new lights. I want a fairly small rectangular light so they fit in the grill. I will have to cut the grill to install I believe. Any install tips would be great also.

Thanks and Cheers,
heavy

I just picked up what was at my local auto parts store, they are working great peterson lights plus It the wireing kit was right there so it was kinda idiot proof. Comes in black and chrome.

Here are my small rectangular lights. They are about 1 inch by 4 inches. I added them after I got my windows tinted. They are stick on, so the install is easy. They are made by blazer and were about $30 at Schucks. They suit my purpose. I think they claimed to be driving lights rather than fogs, but I don't think they would be much imporvement (if any) over your headlights. If you are interested I can try to take some photos of them in action.

Well i recommend either Hella or PIAA for high performance lighting in a small RECTANGULAR package. IF you do change your mind and want to go with round, again Hella or PIAA would be a wise choice.
Maybe PIAA Quattro would be a good rectangular light for you.
I can not offer info on Rectangular lights but for Round Driving lights i love my Hella Rallye 1000 Black Magic. they make all the difference at night.
