Driving lights should be wired to be operable only when your brights are on, if this is what you are asking.

It depends on which kind you buy and where you put them. Usually they are very long straight pencil beams (which is why they are tied to your high beams). Sometimes people put fog bulbs in them and put them down low on the lower grille. You can find them in halogen or xenon, depending on how much you want to spend. The normal ones are just halogens.

I think that's what you're asking...there seems to be a little bit of language barrier here that makes the question unclear.
