Worthwhile addition?  Better safer night driving when so equipped?


Yes and Yes. If you upgrade, get the entire SA Grill kit with the Hella
driving lights and correct factory brackets which runs about $265-$299. Trying to
mount your own lights can be done, but no reason to for the most part.

The mounting cups/pods attach to existing sheet metal with sheet metal
screws. The toughest part is measuring and drilling the pilot holes for th bracket.
And that is to say it's not tough at all. The mounting brackets have two
adjusting screws just like the main headlights for aiming the lights. Nice set up.

It's too long ago since I got mine but I think the inner lights are Hella H3
bulbs that come with the kit. Someone else can chime in on the wattage.

Looks great. Improves lighting. Tastes great. Less filling.

Best,
