Default Driving lights for a Sti V5

Hi

Looking to replace the low down driving lights on my Sti V5.
Currently got PIAAs but they have fallen to bits. Seem to have rusted bottom upwards!
Interested in LEDs, but not a necessity.

Anyone got any suggestions? There seems to be a lot of options out there!

Cheers

Depends on whether you want to SEE better, or just to be seen.

If it's the latter, then LED's or even standard fit foglights are fine....but useless.

If you want to SEE better, then driving lights. They range from PIAA, (which DO rust), to Cibie, (which suffer from bulb failure), to Hella, which are quite good and dead easy to change to HID when they become amazing, to the little Hella ones fitted to the P1, which are pretty good for their size and can also be converted.

Have a look here, post 26, (Hella 1000FF HID's): https://www.scoobynet.com/technical-...-lamp-kit.html
