Way back, I had these 55W driving lights from Harbor Freight that I’d order by the 6paks. Lenses got beat to Hell so far down, sandblasted, busted by low-flying rocks, you name it.
Absolutely amazing pencil-beam but were a true pain in the ass to aim.
Clamp-fit, ie, you aim them on a swivel left/right and angled up/down, then tighten the nut on the bumper-bolt that held them. And of course as you tighten, this or that would deform and throw off the aim. So like old-timey pushbutton radios where you’d have to “tune past” in one direction, lock it, and hope it’d be set right, it was the same, you had to figure out the “drift” and set them accordingly.
I’d have to find an empty parking lot with big white wall on the opposite end, and aim them there before some rent-a-cop would come snooping around.
Anyway, something like that, and I’d swap my foglights in a heartbeat. Fogs are pretty useless to me, brights are still only really useful at moderate distances, but those HFS lights I used to get, I could keep them on all the time and get amazing visibility. Far out, and distance would “dim” them to oncoming cars because they were aimed flat and low. By the time they’d be close enough for the brightness to be objectionable, they’d be sitting well above where the hotspot was aimed.
Of course, I never really needed them in urban settings, but on lonely unlit stretches of road, I never had to flick on the brights (and then do the on/off/on/off/… dealy whenever a car would be headed my way) as those gave me plenty of visibility without blinding anyone.
So… something like that but in LED form, figure even 10W should match the lumen output of a 55W bulb.
Biggest problem will be the front glass, guaranteed. They will get sandblasted, pelted with rocks, etc., on a regular ongoing basis (ie, every time the car’s in motion). And so close to the ground will be that much worse. And I even made grilles out of hardware-cloth to try to keep bigger rocks from busting the glass, with at least a half-inch cushion vs right up against the glass. Even used to cut sheets of plastic to stick in front as disposable tear-offs to try to minimise sandblasting. Still a pain…
