It's just a normal looking, inexpensive LED light bar that spans the width of the two stock fog light mounts across my front bumper.
Driving at night is dangerous when:
* Someone is coming the other way with very bright aftermarket LEDs, often at a poorly adjusted angle
* Someone has their high-beams on or is flashing them incessantly like a strobe at a nightclub
* A large vehicle has its headlights (usually with high-beam on) at the level of your windshield
All of these situations make it so that you can not see the road ahead of you (which is dangerous for obvious reasons) while they still can. It makes it much more likely that I'll have an accident with someone walking in the middle of the road at 2am, a bike with no headlight or taillight, a rock, brick, uneven median appearing out of nowhere, pothole or crater, a guy in a non-reflective Spiderman costume, an old Datsun taxi with no lights driving the wrong way straight into you, roadworks without cones or detour signs, etc. that I'm confident all Karachi drivers have witnessed.
You have to drive carefully in this city anyway, staying alert at all speeds for anything unexpected, and it's made much harder when you can't even see a damn thing.
The light bar serves as a way to cut through all of that so I can see the road ahead of me. I flick it on sparingly, only when the visibility is actually hazardously low, and keep it off 99% of the time, using just my regular halogen headlights. It also serves as an effective deterrent - it's so bright that oncoming cars often turn their high-beams off because they finally get a brief taste of how dangerous it can be to drive while effectively blind.
