[TR] Lucas Driving Lights

[DLylis at aol.com]

Maybe I was not specific enough.  The lights are bright, they just are  not 
focused.  Driving lights and fog lights serve two different  functions.  One is 
a very focused light and the other is a diffused  light.  My complaint about 
these lights is that they are not focused.   Having been around in the 60s 
when it seems like these things were important to  the manufacturer a good 
driving light would shoot out a beam of light far ahead  of the vehicle and at the 
end of the beam of light it was still largely  contained on the roadway.  These 
knockoff lights produce a lot of light  but around the reach of the regular 
high beams it becomes ambient  light that lights the trees, etc.  Driving 
lights are supposed to be  focused to provide reach on the roadway beyond the 
regular headlights.   These lights just kind of brighten up the reach of the 
regular headlights.   I could have done that with 10 gauge wire and relays to the 
high and low beams  on the regular headlights.
Driving lights, as they are sold today on modern cars mostly have fluted  
lenses and you will notice that when you turn them on, they provide an "assist"  
to the regular headlights as well as better light the shoulders of the  road.  
>From my experience, this is not what they are supposed to do as  "driving 
lights".
