Additional front lights

[Simond S]

I am thinking of using the car more and am not impressed by the lights. Has anybody fitted additional lights to the front of a DB9.

I was thinking about putting them behind the front grill like this

Why? You would just look like a massive tosser basicly driving around with fog lights on. One of my pet hates, there is just no need for it

Because the standard lights are not very bright. I thought that would have been obvious by my (and othrs by the looks of things) desie have have better forward illumination.

You may have noticed that the motor industry has made significant improvements to the lights on cars over the last few years, this isnt purely cosmetic you understand.

The lights on my Aston are not as bright as on my Toaureg, or the Z4. Maybe because the other two are 2010 cars and the Aston is a 2004 build, but the fact remains they are no where near as good.

Whilst I appreciate that the norm on PH is to slate any post or idea first, and then engage brain later it does become tiresome when people start calling you a tosser for no reason. Seriously, get a life. You wouldn't say it to me in a pub so don't say it on here. I also dont like fog lights, not becuase they are additional illumination but because the lenses, bulbs and reflectors are not designed to be used as driving lights. That is why they blind you in good light.

To be honest aethetically it shouldnt show as they'll be behind the grill, and when on they will be correctly angled to illuminate the road ahead and hopefully give me a little further visibility and spread.

Until deer start wearing flourescent jackets i'd rather be safe than sorry
