How to Choose Driving Lights for Country Driving

On a dark country road, good lighting gives you more time to react to wildlife, stock and road hazards. Here is how to pick the right setup.

Understand beam patterns

  • Spot: long, narrow reach for straight highways
  • Spread / flood: wide, shorter light for slow tracks and bends
  • Combo: a mix of both, a popular all-rounder

Choose a mounting point

  • Bull bar: the classic spot for round driving lights
  • Grille: integrated grille lights for a clean look
  • Roof: roof pods for wide, close-range light

Popular options

Build a balanced setup

Many drivers pair long-range driving lights with roof pods or grille lights, so they get reach on the highway and spread on tracks.

Stay legal

  • Wire driving lights to operate with high beam
  • Dip them for oncoming vehicles and when following traffic
  • Check your state's rules on number and placement of auxiliary lights
