Fog Lights On or Off?

fog lights dont have a sheild over the bulbs to disperse the light behind it and bounce of the rear then shine forward...they just shine straight out into your eyes.
DTRL's usually have reflectors or lenses that keep the light from being broadcasted into oncomming traffic.

 

always on with my headlights at nite. but are on with my running lights in rain, fog, cloudy and dusk. looks badass

 

I generally use mine when it's foggy or to light up a mountain road in the dark (helps to see the deer to the sides.)

 

I usually only use them at night. They are going to go out eventually, so why not try to save them?

Sometimes I forget to turn them off. And on long trips/Tacoma meets or I just want to feel cool and let everybody know that I have HIDs during the daytime I'll have both my headlights and my fogs on.
I can't stand driving at night without them on too. Without them I see nothing directly in front or beside me and with my 5000k headlights the lighting is perfect.

 

If somebodies fogs or brights are blinding me I do this.

I don't have any problem with fog lights being on when someone is behind me, or approaching for that matter. As long as they are pointed correctly. Then again, I'm in a truck. Driving/fog lights from something like a civic should not be hitting me in the face. If they are, then they aren't pointed correctly.

 

For the money I spent on PIAA's, I leave them on whenever the headlights are on.

i only use mine when im backing up...
so i could see behind me

 

You use your fog lights to see behind you? When backing up? Am I missing something?

 

I keep mine on with my lights at all times. I am a driver's ed instructor and I was amazed when I learned how much further a car can see you during the day with your lights on. After being in a head on collision on a country I am willing to do anything to avoid a repeat. Although if another drunk loses control of his van and hits me there isn't a whole lot my headlights are going to do about that.

 

Here in New Mexico we like to drive around with our fog lights on all the time, that way when it does rain or there is fog we'll have one burned out.

 

Always on @ night with headlights, I dont see the big deal as long as they are aimed right they dont blind anyone.

 

x2 Our fogs are nowhere near as bright as those HIDS everyone raves about. Those things are blinding.

 

Did the mod, run mine with the parking lights at dusk, cause along time ago, when I was a kid (1970's) that was the cool thing and I still like it.

 

dont your headlights have to be on too though? I thought they only worked when your headlights are on to.?

Here's my opinion'

 

Always on. More lights = more better.

 

x2 I rock it just like ArizonaD54.

I have 6000k HID fogs...and they just look too badass not to have on.
