Only Driving lights do what you are describing.
Exactly, I upgraded my Sylvania sealed beams to Bosch E codes in the Miata... the E codes are twice as much light but also well made to cut off well below the oncoming drivers line of sight.

The fog lights on same Miata would be so low as to not be in anyones eyes also.

Because yes, I find the high power driving lights blaring in my eyes from oncoming traffic annoying too.

I'm more curious about the output of the H3 Vs HID?

Or has anyone tried the ebay Chinese knockoff HID fog lights?

As look 171 says, the usefulness in our area is questionable... The factory fog lights on the Hyundai just illuminate the ground ten feet in front of the car.

On the other hand the Miata is tiny and anything that makes it more visible to other drivers is a good thing.
