With the GT/CS, I added the clear 55 watt driving lights behind the grill. They are on when the key is on. I run the fogs all the time at night but the GT/CS fogs are better suited for foggy days based on their position.

I have 35W HID fog lights and they're on anytime my 70w HID headlights are on. Needless to say, people hate driving towards me

I guess from the "good old days" of 4 headlights... every time I'd have mine on I kept getting "flashed" for high beams... Now I've got Eleanor grill... no one flashes me... so they're always on! (unless I want to go faster than posted speed limit, then I turn them off so Johnny Law don't have extra notice )

I suppose I'm in the minority. People that run their fogs for no reason other than to stand out and be cool (I suppose you think you're NOT cool driving a Stang without the fogs on) are an annoyance. But everyone is entitled to do their thing.

My fogs are 2500K and are used for bad weather at night.

I use the fogs instead of the headlights on snowy nights. The beam is a lot thinner which helps when a bunch of snow is coming at me.

My fogs are stock bulbs, smaller lens and housing since it's the pony pkg. I couldn't care less about what others think (as they are not bright at all), but I like the 4 lights and the nice look they give the front of the car at night so I turn them on when the lights come on.

People honk more often at me (I would imagine because of those) but I just leave them on. I figure, if those obnoxiously lifted trucks with the HELLA lights can run them 24/7, so can I. No police trouble, but lots of people tell me they look nice at night because they are aimed very low and have a unique "symmetry" as one of my friends put it.

I love driving with the fog lights on, but as a few other people have mentioned, other drivers flash their high beams at me a lot, so I don't do it so much now.

Last time I had a couple friends down, we went out at night to grab something to eat and they witnessed all the people flashing at me. One of my friends is not so laid back as I am, and was getting really irritated. He basically made me hold my hand on the headlight switch, ready to blind them for being retarded.

I wondered if others had the same issue. Thanks for starting the thread.
