Do you like to drive at with Fog light on all the time
I find that I use foglight all the time. Even during night when i turn on the low beam, and I still have to use fog cus the light is so wide and I can't get used to seeing just the regular headlight. WIth fog it really fills out the whole area ahead of your car.
Do you drive with fogs on all the time at night?

Yeah I do drive with them on all the time at night. I mainly do it because I think it looks better. The fogs do not really do anything for my vision. I also converted the fogs to HID so that they match the headlights. Because of the look this gives my car I occasionally rid with just the fog and parking lights on durning the day.

I drive with them on 100% of the time at night, too. I keep the button set so that they turn on with the low-beams. Not because they help a lot (HIDs are enough) but because it looks much better, IMO.

I have the fog-mod done and during the day I have them on when the parking lights come on. At night, however, it is a different story. The fogs go off and the hids come on. I don't really like using them when there is no fog around. but if I am travelling at triple digit speeds, they come on just because you can't have enough light during those situations.

People who drive with their fog lights on all the time are usually a pain. Why? Because their fog lights are almost never aimed correctly and shine everywhere except where they're supposed to. Particularly irritating are the SUVs which sit higher.

Fog lights, like the name implies, are designed to be used for when there is fog. Most of the time they are very blinding ... too bad they do not ticket you over here like they do in Germany for driving with your fogs on. The same goes for people who drive with the rear fog lamp on when there is no fog - annoying!!!
The off-road lights on top of some 4x4 also look cool, but are blinding as well and serve a purpose ... to be used when off-roading.

our foglights really don't do that much. at least i dont think so. they point real low and make the light just wide on the floor. anywho, i yellowed out my fog lenses and they just real cool now. and makes the ground shine yellow.

I too have the fog light mod done.
During the day if I am on a two lane road for an extended period of time, I turn on the fogs with the park lights.
At Dusk: I roll with the parks and fogs on.
At night: Fogs and HID's on all the time. I feel the fogs add light to the front and sides, plus it looks good. Gives the car a wider look.
To increase the life of your fog bulbs, never start or turn off the car with them on. The surge of power will shorten the life. I simply leave my fogs and parks on when I park but I make sure to turn them off first, turn off the car, then turn them back on before I exit. When I return to the car, they come on to light up the way, then I get in, turn off the switch, start the car and turn on the lights. I know it's an extra step, but it will increase the life of the bulbs significantly!

Interesting. Some people leave their fog lights on because they think their car looks good when they're on. 'cept they can't see the lights when they're on and 99 out of 100 people who can see the lights probably think the driver is an idiot for driving around with their fog lights on all the time.

I have my fogs and low beam on everytime im on the freeway. The low beams are on all the time even during the day. At nite both are on. If you have your fogs installed correctly and pointed down then you will not blind anyone. I have my lights on all the time so drivers and even pedestrians are aware of where I am and how fast I am comming at them!

Exactly.
It's called being a poser.

I have raybrig fog lights on my 99tl it looks pimp they aren't hid's but they about match the color because the glass is tinted blue allready. I have them on at night when I remember I find that it fill up more room in front of the car and makes things easier to see. They saved me from running over my neighbor's dog a couple times

...my fogs don't bother anyone. neither do my HIDs. so they're both on all the time. if my lights bug you, catch up to me and lemme know... no really, if they bug you that much

I keep mine off 90% of the time. The few times I had them on, people would flash their high beams at me. It doesn't help unless the road is pitch black out in the country.

I drive with the Fogs on with the HID's at night only. I'm not a huge fan of rolling with your HID's on during the day just so people know you have HID's. I'm looking into converting the fogs to HID's b/c they look ten times better.

Its not like they're gonna get out of their car and tell me something or write me a ticket.
