>called fog lights>completely useless in the fogWhy do they still include these on cars again?
>>28961148I like anything that makes others more visible in fog.One of my German sport sedans has foglights in the tail lights and I thought that was cool. Saved me from being rear ended in North Dakota.
>>28961148Because they're not fog lights they're "driving lights", at least here in North America. "fog lights" is an outdated term. Heavy fog is pretty rare most places so these low mounted white lights are mainly there to light up the ditches and add a bit of definition to the terrain.
>buy the poorfag spec of my shitbox>Have to see the retarded placeholder plastic where the fogs would be everytime I drive
>>28961183Go to the junkyard and get yourself some upgrades, bro. Going to slap an upgraded radio and a new bezel with a fog light switch on my ranger tomorrow. I've had the new bumper with lights for months, but hadn't got a nice conditions internal trim with a switch to finish the job.
>>28961148fog lights should be warm white or even better yellowcold white light gets reflected very well by fog, yellow does not
>>28961229Bring back French Amber foglights
>>28961232thry had selective yellow headlights up till 1993 when they got rid of it to make it in line with the rest of EU car regs. Night driving must've been very comfy before the change.
most of these are called "driving lights" now instead of fog lights for this very reason
>>28961148They're so other people can see you in fog, you must be a grade A moron to think They're to blast through fog just so you can see better.
We have this trend where I live. Blind boomers have now started putting chink led lights in their non-led fog light housing. And of course they always turn them on.So now when the road is wet you get giga-eye cancer beams relfecting and torching your retinas.
>>28961259Yes. They are lower because there is less fog near the road. At least that was my impression. But usually they are included in cars because more lights = cool
>>28961229I have piss yellow fog lights and they still do absolutely nothing.
>>28961356do you have selective yellow halogens or yellow LEDs. The light spectrum is totally different. For fog you want selective yellow halogens. Yellow LEDs are just tacky but do nothing.
>>28961148lol i have an 9th gen civic and its fog lights are so fucking bad they actually make the situation worse.they are purely aesthetical
>>28961468tried it with selective yellow bulbs? should have much less glare
>>28961470yes. of courseleft selective yellow foglights onright, foglights offand yes, i checked to make sure they are aligned correctly.
>>28961474oof.F
>>28961477i wonder if some sort of cap or visor would help
>>28961148>completely useless in the fogfuck the fog, I put bright LEDs in there to spite crybabies like you. I put them on my own car for my own aesthetic enjoyment only- not for your pussy ass appeasement. Yes, it does help with the fog and extra-dark roadway driving as it illuminates details on the sides of the roads I would have otherwise missed- like street signs or land marks.
>>28961356They're doing something. They're making you not be a road hazard.
>>28961148So that others have better chance at seeing you, odumbo
>>28961148The fog lights on my old 05 Colorado worked great.
>>28962186Headlights are already visible
>>28961148you live in the US and our politicians are retarded is what
>>28961148You're supposed to be able to use the fog lights independently of the headlights.
>>28961148Those are driving lights, dimwit. Fog lights are amber.
>>28962401front corner markers are amber you dolt
>>28962390Yeah, and the retarded American government doesn't allow that.>>28962401Are the headlights not for driving?
>>28961181>Heavy fog is pretty rare most placesFound the Californian.
astonishing how a bord full of car people has no clue how to operate their car.Did you know you can turn on fog lights without the lowbeam? Thats how you are actually meant to use them to prevent white glare at eye level
>>28962887US regulations literally prohibit this.I had an 80's shitbox where I disabled this and got a ticket 3 weeks later for improper headlight usage.
>>28963585Shit that never happened for 400.
>>28961148YOU PAY EXTRA
>>28963585How did cops spot you with 30 yards visibility
>>28961232>>28961239They're actually perfectly (explicitly) legal, and not just for fog lights (which CAN'T be used ynless in actual fog conditions), but also for regular headlights
>>28961148My old car had them and I used them often - often just to get more light on the road ahead.My new car has LED matrix lights and lowers the beam automatically when I turn on the fog taillights - which I absolutely hate. Fog taillights are retarded, or at least the people using them in thick traffic or when a few drops of rain fall are.
>>28963596https://sealight-led.com/blog/is-it-illegal-to-drive-with-fog-lights-on.html>>28963744it was daytime and I have them on without headlights being on. Cop didnt like it, ticket got immediately dismissed.
>>28964047Did you know it's also illegal to drive with high beam, indicators or hazards outside of specific situations?
>>28964047your source us even agreeing with my take
