yellow lights low and normal headlights will create the effect.
the effect is much more pronounced if you have high mounted lights,
but it isn't strictly necissary.
If you want to light up a WIDE AREA the higher you mount the lights the better.
But you've gotta use the right kind of lights.
for educational purposes you should connect the different types of lights
to a battery at night and wave them around like a flashlight.
this will give you an instant appreciation of the actual beam pattern.
Classic "Offroad lights" are like a broad spotlight.
"Driving lights" are a somewhat narrower spotlight
"Pencil beams" are exactly as the name implies
While GOOD fog lights throw out a relatively narrow band of light
Which is why they work best for FOG mounted as low as you can get them.
ever notice that foglights mounted on over the road trucks are generally
mounted under the bumper?
Even though they know they are vulnerable down there....
Because they frankly don't work worth a damn (IN FOG) if mounted high.

If it bores the crap out of you quit reading what he says. He's full of useful information that you seem to be blind to. You said this in your first post:im just looking for ways to mount them up in mine. He's told you the best places to mount lights and what kind to use. If you're that worried about mounting the lights on your mall crawler then just do it.
