How do you like your driving lights: do the OEM MINI front grlll driving lights add more distance, width, or both? Thinking about adding them up the road, but not if there's not a very appreciable difference in lighting. When I'm out for a night drive, I really want to see the deer before it's too late!

Love my factory driving lights, they definitely do a great job brighterning up the road. Not at a huge distance, more of an immediate distance, but that really helps on small, windy roads. Love em, wouldn't go without them. They also just give an awesome look to the front of the car, a nice rally look

I really don't get a lot of use out of my rally lights since I live in the city, but I still love them for the help they give on dark backroads. They really help in spotting deer and other critters.

Plus, I agree with Storer....they definitely add to the look of the car. :smile:

I have mine aiming about 2 feet into the side of each road, and up a bit above the high beams, so they light up the sides of the road, and up ahead some as well, helps for spotting deer. And yes, they also look cool. They're as bright as the brights.
