Looking for LED Driving Lights
I'm looking for an aftermarket LED driving lights that won't blind other drivers. The web are flooded (pun intended) with "off-road use only" driving lights but not the one that's on-road friendly. Any recommendations?

Would fog lights work?

I have a set of these mounted on the front bumper of my '87 Jeep XJ and have them on almost all the time. It is nice to light up the ditches with a wide beam light that still is low enough to not bother oncoming traffic.

I also put these in place of the sealed beam lights that were OEM on that jeep. Night time driving is a thing of the past; these are far superior to any other lights on any car/truck I've owned.

They're not cheap and they're worth every penny.

Also, it does say "off-road use" but if you have them personally and you say its road worthy then I'll trust your judgement on that.

Note that buying from Amazon (as I did) means you won't get their warranty - you have to get them from an authorized dealer to enjoy that perk. The advantage I got from amazon was a greatly reduced price.
The JWSpeaker website has the details, and those details include that they are DOT compliant. That's the primary reason I spent the coin on them rather than a far cheaper clone.
I have both the headlamps and foglights set up on relays so the switches in the cab only engage the relay that sends power to the lights. Saves high current through old switch gear and guarantees the best power to the lights, even though there's probably enough electronics in each light to compensate for low voltages. Seems like I read somewhere that the allowable voltage input is anywhere from like 10-30VDC.
