If you really want to go all out, get a South African grill kit with
lights from Van-Cafe, or one of the other vendors, plus the headlight
upgrade kit.  There is a lot out there in the archives that address this.

I see more modern vehicles and it looks like a floodlight is illuminating the road in front of them. I then have to check my switch to see if I actually have mine turned on. It's very disconcerting. The only way I can tell for sure is when I come up behind another vehicle and check the reflection.
