Default XJS Fog Light

Hello All. It has been awhile. Took out my XJS this year to cruise around and found the lighting is pretty terrible compared to today's technologies. What do you recommend in terms of bulbs and maybe adding a driving light?

Interestingly, there is a switch next to the windshield defog switch. Was that an option as I have no fog light right now.

I am thinking a not too obnoxious 55W driving light from Hella or PIAA.

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XJS forum. This is the place to post technical questions about your model.

OK. No Problem. I figure this was general lighting question.

Thanks

The fog light switch next to the w/s defog switch is for the rear "fog lights"....more lights, so as not to be rear-ended by the inattentive in the dark of night. Confusing for those of us in the Colonies, who automatically think of those big yellow buggers hanging from the front bumper when we hear "fog light". 8-)
