Lighting question

Hi.
Living in Norway I luckily have euro style lights on my car (Xenon), but in scandinavia it is quite common to mount extra high beams for driving on dark country roads. Do you get to mount these lights in the US??.
I can tell you that with the Xenon lows, the original highs plus the two Hella Rally 3000 extras the light is just plane INSANE. Just have to be careful not "pointing" them at anyone.

Personally I don't think the car looks very nice with these extra lights on, so I take them off in the summertime.

Not much demand for driving lights in the US anymore, everything is either lit or a freeway half a mile wide.

You can get Hella HID lights with a driving light instead of a fog lamp, but then loose the fog lamps, and I use the fogs more than the driving lights anyway.

Otherwise, they'd have to be bumper mounted, and I belive they are illegal done that way in most states, possibly also against DOT regulations.
