    fog lights for headlights?

    Im looking for the dominator dual headlight look the dominator lights are too large. Would rhere be any issue with using some 2.5 inch fog lights as head lights?

    Only if you want to be able to see or maybe even to be legal.

      Maybe if you retrofitted the housings with HID's but even that's a stretch and depending on the housings, that will probably not be enough but I've seen some projector HID fogs running around at night that were nearly as bright as headlights.

      But as Steve said, there's the legal issue regardless. You need to see as well as be seen, right?

        It's not all about 'brightness', they also have to put a proper pattern on the road.

          So true. So many Honda (ricers we call them) Civics around here have HID's in reflector housings that throw light EVERYWHERE but on the road.
