I installed old school Hellas fogs. They work very well illuminating the sides.
Also "fills" part of the headlight pattern. My headlight bulbs are also the Silverstars Ultra.

Cory, thanks for the tips. I'm learning on lighting tech. I do have about a month's time, so I should be able to learn enough :) - I really like the idea of aiming the right light a bit to the right. This actually reminded me of my road trip across Arizona. Many times, I kept a keen eye on the right, for fear of animals darting out. From the right, you have less time to react. I'll also keep the fogs low

Bairjo: I saw those Silberstars during searching. The Phillips also seem promising. - I'm like you, I don't mind changing them more frequently for better performance.

During the day you should be ok with just regular low-beams, but night-time it's a different story.
I don't mind. Honestly, don't know. The intent is to do the scenery, hiking, etc during the day, so surely there will be night driving. During my Arizona trip, we often drove WAY WAY after we thought we would, and a few times up into like 3am.

haha.. Hellas! Old school, indeed. I was looking at those yesterday. Good pricing, compared to PIAAs.

Okay, another user of the Silverstars Ultra. That sounds like it is a good choice.

Thank you all for your posts

Keep them coming!
