Default Fog lights = EW

Ok, so I love the look of the GT's with the grill that has the 2 fog lights on the top part, that are in the middle together.....

But they are fog lights........ Is there anyway to replace them with LED lights or make them like your head lights so that they are brighter than what they are?

Actually, the fog lights are brigther than you think, IMO. There was a recent thread on here dicussing that because a lot of people have approaching cars flash their lights at them because the fogs are so bright the other driver thinks your brights are on.

JMO, but I wouldn't go any brigther with them.

Here's the link to that thread. I'd give it a read before making a decision!

Sounds like you want driving lights. The factory fogs have reflectors that lay down a fog light pattern (short, wide throw) no mater what bulbs you put in them. If you truly want driving lights (long, narrow throw) then you need to replace the entire factory fog light assembly.

Actually, they aren't that bright in a way that they shinein oncoming traffic's eyes. Some people see 4 lights and think it is open season to flash us. They are legal to operate in a stock form. I just hit my brights when they flash me to educate them on what a set of brights are really like.

Yeah, that probably makes more sense from an oncomming traffic standpoint.
I just remembered there was one person in that thread who had mentioned he was driving behind his neighbor through their subdivision and the neighbor pulled over to let him pass. The next day the neighbor informed him how incredibly bright the fogs were and that's why he had pull off to the side.

It would be completely illegal to have you headlights in the center of your car. Most states require that the headlights are pushed as far to the outside of the car as possible
