Default Re: Running Lights + Brighter Bulb

I think the hypothesis goes along the lines that the triangle kind of depicts the size of the vehicle the driver expects to see. An inverted flattish triangle higher up off the road doesn't really do this.

Still there's only a minimal amount of data that supports it, so it's probably indistinguishable from "more lights = better".

Incidentally, do low mounted lights perform better in fog? Or is this another myth like the yellow coloured foglights of the 80s?
