yes, i concur, the location of the SA driving lights up high in the grille is
what ticks people off, and yes, i have aimed them down low.
as for the projektzwo lower lights - they are NOT driving lights..  they are
FOG lights.  the lens is fluted  - like all fog light lenses are..that
displaces the light over a WIDE area directly in front of you and at the
sides of the road.  and yes, i have them also, and nobody has a problem when
i drive w/ the lower P'zwo fogs on.
