Default GT owners, Tired of people flashing their brights at you???

Fist original post here. I just wanted to know how others felt or if others were even noticing this. When I drive around at night with the fog lamps on I almost always get some "Helpful Driver" flashing their brights at me to let me know I have four lights instead of two like them. At least, I think thats what they must be trying to tell me. I mean it happens every night it seems and I know its not a big deal but its starting to drive me crazy......or I should say crazier..... Anyone else dealing with this??? I know the obvious answer is to not use the "Fog" lights. To that I say HELL NO!!! I paid for them and for the car and love the way I can spot another one miles away at night. Anyone had any sucess with colored overlays????

I get it all the time, just ignore them or flash your brights at them to let them know. That is what I do.

yeah, that happens quite a bit. another personal favorite, i drive with JUST my fog lights on during the day. someone asked me if i had a short at work, since only my middle two "headlights" were on. naw, just letting em know its a GT. people still flash their lights.

I'm sorry, but they're flashing you because they're bright. Like brights. It's annoying.

No it isn't bright. I've checked it myself. They don't shine in other drivers' eyes at all.

Exactly, they are not bright. I've gone by an oncoming GT with his on and they are dimmer than the regular headlights.

Now if you want to talk about bright lights, how about HID lights. Those are bright and blinding!

I was actually pulled over by a local cop for it! I had to demonstrate to him that they are not high beams! Then I spent another 20 minutes there answering all of his questions about the car He never did ask for my license or anything!
