Default PIAA fogs too Bright ???

I am wanting to add some fog lights to my ZO6 but I also want to be able to run them at night WITHOUT drowning out my headlights (Going to add the PIAA 9006 when I add the fogs) I just don't want to make my driving lamps overpower the headlights so that it looks dorky. The paperwork I have on the PIAA driving lights say they are 48,000 candlepower and I want useable light instead of blinding light. Anyone have a night time pic of this setup that I can look at or a suggestion as to what they did to avoid this weird look.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

I installed the PIAA's on my Z, they much brighter than the OEM fog lights. The are brighter in color too. Much more of a pure white vs the dingey yellow of the headlights. I run both and the PIAA's really luminate nicely.

I wouldn't worry about them.

I installed Piaa high and low beams when I did the driving lights. the difference is night and day! Best mod I've done (well, next to the blower.)

They are bright but don't reach as far as headlights. When I drive with mine on I don't get brights flashed at me.
