    Yes, these are the add-on driving lights, not the headlights or fog lights,which I already have. My daily commute is in the dark and I encounter half a dozen Amish horse-and-buggy rigs each way. Adding the driving lights for safety and am wondering where the switch is, what it looks like, and how it operates.

    Had the black (not chrome) driving lamps installed today. Very pleased. Classic Mini (Cleveland area) was top shelf on customer service and quality of the install. The lamps work well and fit functionally and aesthetically just as you'd hope. As I may have mentioned earlier, my morning and evening commute to work is 40 minutes, usually in the dark, and I pass several Amish horse-and-buggy rigs each way, every day. With the Xenons, fogs, and now the driving lamps, my candle power in front is huge. Not cheap, but well worth the expense. Details? Grill replaced, switch is illuminated, and the lamps only work with the brights on. Awesome.

    Love my driving lights - they make a HUGE difference on dark windy roads.

    :cornut: To the best of my knowledge:
    1.Driving lights = head lights
    2.Fog lights
    3.Parking lights
    The switch for the fog lights is on the lower center stack. The other light switch is on turn signal lever on the left side of the steering column. Or Did I Miss Something?:Thumbsup:

    Hey can you please post some pics of the installed switch. I thought it would go in one of the blank spots near the fog light switch. Also some pics of the grill and how it is different form the factory.

    Thanks.
