foglight assault

[GasoLane]

Oh good.Yet another fog/cornering lights thread.

As some would know they are called Wan#%er or Lame )Look At ME) lights for a reason...that's all they're good for.

Like Mother Nature I also drive at night on open highways and they're a pain, imagine if everyone had them on, we would all have to look at twice as many oncoming lights every night!!

Having said that I think the OP was very hard done by. Even if he only had one headlight using the fog lights WAS driving safer.

Wattage means nothing (I have two Cibie Oscar driving lights, also 55w each) and you are also assuming they are aimed correctly. Most aren't.
