Which Foglamp Location
I was just thinking after reading a thread about someone wanting Accord fogs on their 04-06 UA6.
So, it got me wondering where does everyone else like their foglamps? |
At the bottom of the bumper

Cars with fog lights that are integrated into the headlight housing looks funny. Mainly the cars with xenon low beams and halogen fogs.
The g35 is a prime example. You got this nice bright pure white light and than next to it is the ugly yellow halogen bulbs |

Prefer them down lower to the ground so you don't get as much reflection in snow/rain/fog - like they were designed. :shrug:

So far, it's a run-away.

Plus, foglights are meant yo be YELLOW. I drove a Civic or something with an HID conversion and my foglamps alone outperformed his HID's. |
Personally I like my 04-06 setup with fogs down low too. It gives me options how I want the light. If I take the backroads with no oncoming traffic at night I throw on all 3 pairs of HIDs. Daylight cuts right through the fog :) Yeah I know 3 pairs of HIDs are illegal. Whatever as long as there is no oncoming traffic.

Foglamps were meant to throw wide beams of light albeit low to the ground. Which is very easily achieved by aiming.

1 Attachment(s)
I'd like to see some mounted in the bumper grills but towards the center instead of the edge, they were more like that on my Trailblazer SS with projectors, I still have them lying around cause I had used some upgraded projectors that I left in when I sold it. If I could think of a clean way to mount it I'd try it on my TL since one of these days I plan on adding bumper fogs.
Attachment 79891 I think it might look kinda cool on a TL. |

Hmm yea that would make sense. I knew more than 2 sets is supposed to be a "no-no" but being that the 3rd set is for fog (3000k) it would be legit.

Haha definitely true. I have stories on other threads on that. Apparently I have a knack of running into a lot of cops on "bad days", lol. They love writing bogus tickets that I get dropped in court every time.
But yea I tend to use auxiliary lights rarely just for that reason. I'll put my fogs on in the rainy nights too because it helps see the blacktop better. Never had a problem. Only had 1 NYPD cop pull me over for "bright lights" with my Accord fogs on but he was cool. Nice guy once he saw my PBA card. I told him they were stock Type-S lights. lol. He said don't use them on streets with overhead lighting because they are unnecessary, only in the suburbs. I was like "Sure, OK!". More like "Whatever" what law is that? Any which law he just made up. |
