Driving lights -operation?

[Tom McCarthy]

Dave,

You hit the nail on the head. These lights are mounted very low on
the front bumper, just like fog lights on cars. It does not make
sense to use them with HIGH beams as driving lights, in my opinion.
The lenses are clear, not yellow like the Brits. So are my cars,
even the Astin Martin. Wait, I am not sure the AM has fog lights.
Hmmm.
