I found a great way to mount Driving Lights.

I got some new PIAA Driving lights to augment the barely acceptable headlights and I discovered that actually mounting them was quite a bit more complicated than I thought. I wanted to anchor them to a solid structure, not just the bumper cover. I thought the perfect location would be the brakes cooling ducts, but there's really not a good way to mount them in there. After a period of idea generation, I noticed a single bolt next to each brake cooling duct. Then, I went to Lowe's, got a piece of wide, thick, flat aluminum bar stock. I measured, cut, filed, drilled and bent it and bolted it up with those two bolts. It makes for a solid, flat mounting surface right under the bumper inside the intake grid.

Now you can feed the fog light switch from the cigar lighter & cut the feed from the headlight switch - presto - daytime running lights..
