Looking for some nice driving lights that don't blind people.

    I just got new headlights and fog lights. The fogs don't do much and the scatter the light everywhere so I can't put brighter lights in them. The low beams are projectors so I was able to install HIDs and adjust the cutoff to where I'm not blinding people.

    My night visibility increased a lot compared to my foggy stock headlights but I still want more distance. Since the headlight height is pretty high up on the truck, I can't have my cutoff line too far without blinding people.

    What are some good driving lights and brands to look at? I tried on Amazon but they mostly have those stupid LED ones that will blind everyone. An LED bar in the bumper that doesn't blind everyone would be awesome but I don't think they make something like that yet.

    Any recommendations?

    It's a regular bumper on a Columbia so I have the space between the tow hooks to work with.

    That's a great idea actually. I can just stick two of those 4x6 sealed beam conversion lights down there and they'll have a good beam pattern and be DOT legal. Just need to fab up some good mounts.

    They come with nice brackets already you might be able to use something on the bumper of your truck and the supplied brackets. Buy them off amazon you will get a better deal thats where i got mine.

    So this is some kind of kit? All the ones I see are just the lights without anything else because they're meant to replaces your stock headlights.

    Driving lights should be certified under the SAE/DOT standards for them to be legal. Rigid Industries and Jetco truck lights are compliant with SAE standards.
