driving lights. My lights are all screwed up and I need to replace them. I am looking to spend under $100 on these. I want round ones preferable 3.5" -4". HID or equivilant.

Anyone with some info on driving lights in that range please post. Thanks a lot.

For driving lights under 100 bones that are HID or equivilant? Your best bang for the buck are the Hellas. PIAA's are somewhat pricey but they match in quality. Aftermarket HID's will drain you at about $500-700. Your alternate route is your local Pep Boys if applicable to your state or your local automotive store or Ebay! Good luck! smile

I should clarify what I mean by driving lights- clear fog lights(aka driving lights).

Most people call them fog lights but a parts guy laid into me when i called them fog lights.

Not all foggies have their optics on the lenses and not all driving lights are clear.

Fog, obviously is for a flat beam directly in front of the car. Driving lights are for when you want to see the road in the next town. laugh

Blazer makes a set of driving lights that fit the fog light holes quite well. The are a tad bit large but I have had them in there before. IIRC they were about $60. I bought them from Checker. The only drawback... They can't be used when other vehicles are in front of you. As my friendly local police officer told me after he followed me home. He was also curious as to why I didn't have a dedicated off switch for them (also illegal in Utah).
