Then I can tell if I'm aimed too far over into traffic without pissing off other drivers.
A good set of fog lights should have a very good cutoff point for the light to keep from offending oncoming traffic. Driving lights shouldn't be used with any traffic visable on the road. Wattage has less to do with it, than the pattern of light they project can't be used without annoying oncoming drivers.

Uh, they were aimed on the wall first! I aimed them about a foot lower than the main beams and a little to the right so they don't go toward oncoming traffic. They also have a sharp cutoff and are only 55W lights. I specifically bought the lower wattage lights so that I wouldn't cause problems on the road. I don't think Anyone is going to die from them, but I might die if i don't use them. I know that's selfish, but it's true. I Can't see shit with just the mains (in other words I can't even tell when they're on!!!) and I didn't want to go through another winter without some light.
You guys have the same shitty Nissan lights that I have...I'm surprised I have to justify these so much. Sheesh!!!
