What's up with the orange secondary headlamps?

Post by billzilla » Thu Mar 27, 2008 9:11 pm

Have people noticed how some Satellites/Roadrunners/GTX's show up occasionally with one of two pairs of headlamps orange? What's up with that? Are they fog lights that just happen to be the right size?

Kind of does look like fog lamps, if you want to see some cool headlights look at gionni's car!

I agree, fog lamps.

I live on an island, so I replaced my high beams with them years ago, it really helped on foggy / rainy nights.

The locator nubs in the backs of the lamps were in different locations though, I had to notch my inner buckets to use them.

idk but i HATE yellow, amber, and anything of that sort...

i really hate all the ricers that have yellow headlights...blinding idiots...i thought yellow headlights were illegal because of their blinding capability/brightness a.k.a. the reason they're used on racecars.

foglights would be a decent idea, as personally, i find the high beams about useless, that's why i added roadlights, cuda style 8)
