Driving lights vs. Xenons

Hmmm, just wondering whether to get the driving lights or not.

Do they illuminate as good as the xenons and can I use them on the highway? Are they easy to steal?

If I get the driving lights I might not get the entire sports package, but it might be a bad idea...

You can skip on the driving lights for now. Just remember that you would have to pay for installion. This will prob run you about $800+.

My driving lights only turn on when I turn the high beams on.

I like the xenon's illumination better.

You can always add the driving lights later.

Can't you turn the driving lights on without having the high-beams on?

Mine wasn't set up that way. I'm sure you can with a little re-wiring. I think it also depends on the state laws if they would allow that.
