Default Adding Driving lights to ZO6

I have been toying with the idea of adding driving lights to my ZO6, I have been thinking about adding the PIAA's but I have been wondering if these will drown out the headlights. Has anyone added these lights and noticed this affect? My second option is to add the factory lights, I want to do something but am not sure, any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard

It wouldn't take much to drown out the stock headlights... Actually I had the driving lights on my 99 FRC and when aimed properly, they do work well with the headlights.
A better option would be euro lights with a higher wattage bulb. They throw a better light pattern and driving lights are not needed.

Get the E-Code headlight housings, relay kit, and high watt bulbs and you're at or above the light output from HID lights. The LOW beams on my wifes C5 with 130/90 watt Narva bulbs are as bright or brighter than the HIGH beams on my stock headlight Z06

The PIAAs work well with the stock headlights. They throw a different type of light. See Here:
