I conversed with Daniel Stern as to which lamp I should get for my GTV. My priorities were: 1. performance, 2 price, 3. appearance.
Here is his suggestion: ************************** I'm going to recommend a Hella BiFocus selective-yellow replaceable-bulb H1 beam unit for this application. It's got a good, sharp cutoff and nice wide beam for use in bad weather, with excellent glare control so you can use them in traffic, but also has enough distance punch along the right side of the road that if things get really soupy you can safely and effectively use them as primary headlamps. They have a flat lens face so they'll look good with your flat-lens Hella main headlamps, and they contain a "city light" (European parking lamp). They're $109/ea. *************************** IAP has fog lamps listed for $12 each - obviously sealed lo-beams, nothing fancy. I have IAP's Hella Euro headlights for my hi/lo units. I found the BiFocus units at another on-line racing store for $95/each. I looked at aircraft landing lights and there sure are many types to select from.... and they aren't cheap either.
