A sure way to make your car look sportier is to add driving lights. Finding suitable lights and a place where they can be installed is not difficult.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Driving Lights

Finding a Shop

Step1
Ask car dealers to recommend shops that sell and install driving lights.
Step2
Look in the Yellow Pages. Performance and car specialty shops - and even some car audio shops - sell and install driving lights.
Step3
Choose two to three shops to investigate.

Visit the Shops

Step1
Inspect the lights. Look for lights that include good brackets in the package and have a strong, durable housing. You also want quality coating on the lenses - multi-coating that makes the lenses hard and durable.
Step2
Make certain that the shop has a good variety of lights and an assortment of shapes. Different vehicles have different shapes and openings. You want the lights to go in a location where there are no obstructions.
Step3
Make certain that the installer knows how to take advantage of the openings in your car so that the mounted lights have no obstructions. This means that the installer may have to cut into the bumper and fabricate brackets in order to fit the lights properly.
Step4
Try to look at a demonstration vehicle that shows off the work of the shop.
Step5
Choose the shop where you are most comfortable.

on 8/2/2006 If your looking to install fog lights or something similar, it is pretty easy. They come with full instructions that are easy to follow. You hook the power wires to the battery from the light, than hook it up to the switch (optional),and mount the switch. Don't waste the money at a dealership.
