Driving With Fog Lights
#12
I drive at night/early morning in town with just my fogs. Since I installed the RetroSolutions HID fog light kit, they project plenty of light for driving. I do this mainly to extend the life of my factory HIDs by only using them occasionally (the RetroSoultions kit has a lifetime warranty!).
I haven't had any trouble from the police so far... and I've been driving like this for 3 years now!

I drive with them on too. Definitely better visability except for in actual fog, they are too high. The look is very unique, instantly recognizable in the rearview mirror or coming head on. I did get pulled over once by a local cop. He told me they weren't street legal and I was scaring other drivers.

I too always have my fogs on and did with my 07 GT as well. I've always understood the fogs to actually be driving lights on these cars but I could be wrong.

whatever one's preference is, facts are:
- in some states there may be a law against using fogs w/o say, fog.
- they are called fog lights, not vanity lights, driving lights, bling or else.
- properly installed, adjusted they should point rather downwards to illuminate the area in front of the vehicle, therefore they should not really bother oncoming traffic. maybe some people just assume that you have your high beams on by noticing more than 2 lights.
- much more annoying are these "upgraded" headlights that are blue etc that really bother oncoming traffic, also some of the led brake lights especially in newer cars that blind you if sitting behind them at a light at night.
