Default Re: High beams out, have a few questions..

I can't see both devices being defective at the same time.

And the OEM Fog lights are more for looks than actually doing any good, IMO. In no way will they take the place of high beams, not even close. There are many posts about DIY upgrading the base with fog lights.

He has had the car for a little over a year and has used to the high beams before, so he knows how those work.

It has been reported on here that replacing both is the fix, although both of them being defective at the same time does sound weird, but thats what I have read.

I have tried telling my Father that those are fog lights at the bottom of the bumper, but he states that he has had 'driving lights' down there on previous cars and they are actually very bright. I personally don't see how they can be brighter than headlights, unless they were HID bulbs in there, but they still will not shine farther than head lights becuase they are located so close to the ground.

Can anyone confirm if these 'driving lights' can be done where the fogs are located?
