Default Why would you want to do that?

They're designed to undercut the fog and not blind the driver with illuminated fog.
Your plan would be counterproductive--unless you just want to blind oncoming traffic

Default Well I was thinking there was still some height before they would blind oncoming traffic..plus

there's rarely any fog where I live..

If there's no fog, keep them off (as well as rear fogs if applicable). Just one of my pet peeves

Default Please don't.

Fog lights are designed to disperse light, that is what is needed in fog. W/o fog they blind oncoming traffic, and tell other drivers that you are, well, not too smart.

Default I find use for them regardless of weather

It allows me to better visualize any potholes in the city streets of Houston (there are plenty) and I love the rear fog lights for fending off tailgators..

Yes, I know they're not designed for this, but they do serve secondary functions.

Default They might as well rename fog lights to style lights the way people use them.



Up here it gets foggy and they come in handy, though I see many people who use them all the time. Worse than constant use is mis-aimed foglights; please, please, please, *DON'T* aim them higher. Just remove them altogether and install brake cooling ducts. ;o)

Default Agree.

And don't put HIDs in there as well.
