Under 6000k, properly aligned, and TURN YOUR FOGS OFF and you should be OK. I am one of those people with sensitive eyes that could very well be one of the ones flashing you. It's not cool to go past someone (especially on icy roads) and be left with spots in your eyes and left driving by braille until your sight returns. HIDs are OK as long as they're aimed properly, fog lights just add too much light and don't really help all that much. If it's raining/snowing so bad you can't see 5 feet in front of you they can help but in clear conditions you're just a douche. I keep a 2 million candlepower spotlight on my passenger seat and blast people all the time for not turning their highbeams down, whether they're coming at me or behind.

So, to sum up. An (I assume) rechargeable spotlight is charged in your house and dragged out each time to drive the car, or left in it and charged while ACC is on, just so you can flash people back while your being blinded eh?

Remind me to stay off your lawn later.

It can be charged via AC power (has a plug on the back you just hook an extension cable to) or DC with the included power adapter. They've got 'em at Wal-Mart for $20 and you'd better believe it gets people's attention and they turn their brights down right quick.

Indeed. And keep your dog off, too

The fogs need to be aimed properly, too. Beam control with higher wattage bulbs or other conversions tends to be poorer than OE.


In clear conditions, they provide useful "fill" light out to about 100'. That's where your last opportunity to decide how to avoid road debris or potholes lies, and inside that distance the fogs by themselves are more useful than the OE HIDs by themselves.


I understand your frustration.

But I'm gonna take a wild guess here and bet that you've never shot your spotlight at a cop . . . if you ever do, post back and let us know how it played out.

lol, I would have to say this seems a bit excessive. I could be wrong, but I would think the majority of people who have highbeams on are not doing it to be mean or to **** people people off. I mean, I am getting flashed a lot and its not because I am trying to blind people. People just want to see better.

I would also have to agree with Norm. I would say that if someone has HIDs and they are blinding other drivers, than the fog lamps are the least of the issues. Since mustangs don't come with daytime lights, I turn my fogs on every time I drive as my daytime lights. And before I changed to my HIDs I was never flashed when I had my regular and fogs on at the same time. With that said, I have to point out that I don't have sensitive eyes. So situations may be hugely different for you than me.

Yep. It´s an extra reason to rage out.

¨Baaaaastard!! Align your HID´s!!!¨

I am curious what this guy is really yelling about.

i agree and have the same in mine and the caps are in the 06 GTs...i bet its either no caps or coating or they are aimed improperly!
agree with nuke and the above!
