I've spent a fair amount of time researching this and not finding very many options. I'm looking for DOT/SAE pattern auxiliary driving lights for my truck and motorcycles. I don't want something that puts a ton of light on the foreground and hurts your ability to see down the road. I drive through the night frequently to get out west on vacations and a lot of time as the only vehicle on the road crossing I-70/I-80. Ideally I'm looking for a 3"x3" cube or round type light.
The Rigid "SAE J581 Aux Drive" 6" driving lights are the closest thing I've found but are bigger than what I really want. http://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/106612
Piaa makes the "SAE compliant" LP270 driving lights that are the size I want but Piaa gives very little detail on their output and I'm not a big Piaa fan. http://www.cyclenews.com/2016/03/article/new-products-piaa-lp270-led-lights/
It's hard for me to believe there aren't more choices out there in compact DOT approved led driving lights.
Another question. Does anyone know the difference between the SAE driving and fog light patterns? I'm guessing the fog has a distinct top cutoff without any lower cutoff whereas the driving has a top and bottom cutoff.
Thanks!
