When purchasing driving lights for your vehicle, it’s obviously important to consider the performance and effectiveness of the lights but it's equally important to consider the brackets that hold them in place. Exposed to extreme temperatures and subject to constant shocks and vibration, the driving light mounts have to be strong and durable. For many, it might seem like steel is the obvious choice, but modern composite materials can deliver greater strength, lower weight, and overall longer life-span.

The watt is another unit of measurement that is often applied to driving lights. In years gone by, the wattage was often the only measure quoted by manufacturers, but this figure is a poor guide to the quality and performance of the driving light.
