Driving light install Q's


Installed a new set of OEM driving light yesterday. There's 2 ways they can be installed. I have them installed like the pic shows or they can switched sides and then they will be pointing to the outside of the car.
Not really sure I like the way I have them now, thinking of switching them around so they point to the outside.
What's your guys preference?

I have mine pointed straight ahead, but they aren't OEM. If your only choices are in or out, I'd point them out. That way they light up the lines on the sides of the road for in fog or to better see animals(deer).

To the outside would seem to be correct.
I would wait until its dark and see if the beams cross over each other when pointed "in" and then shine to the out side a bit further out.
Like a "X" pattern.


My preference is to run without them, but then again I don't need them.

Ya I think pointing out will look better. But I'll wait until dark to test them out.
And I took the old ones out but liked the look of the lights being there rather than without.

You have them on the wrong sides. If you swap them around the bevel of the light will match the angle of the front end and send the light correctly out in front of the car.
