Any good aftermarket driving lights?

I'm looking for a good set of driving lights. I want two that the dealers will install.

Do you have a 2007? if so, Alta and Palo Uber are still working on the lights. The reason lights can't be mounted on the lower grill right now is because that is where the air intake is on the R56. The only lights I know of at the moment are the OEM.

odd. alta told me that they can't because of the air intake.

either way, the only lights i know of for aftermarket are still in production. the older lights won't fit.

but glad to know lower lights can be used!

Looking closer, that is the upper of the lower grills. Which might be the difference. I think the other guy wants to know about the bottom grill on the front?
