Fog lights

Some "people" think those there Fog lights make them look European Cool driving 63 mph/101 Kmh on the American Autobahn.

 

If they are aimed correctly, down and to the sides, they are less bright than low beams. But aiming requires quality maintenance which is hard to find. I drive a company truck and aimed my own and even rode past my truck in a buddy's truck from a mile out to ensure they weren't blinding. Truth is they don't make a bit of difference in the conditions you mentioned but they are great for spotting that deer/cow/elk/moose/horse/elephant on the shoulder approaching the road. What really bothers my eyes are the really bright purplish/blue bulbs, Silverlights if I recall correctly. On the other hand, if we ran at our stopping distance with the stock lights on these trucks we would all be going 40mph with the Volvos going about 25mph!

My Purlux's r not fog lights. and them dang things r rated for hogh speeds above 47 miles per our.

 

I run the fogs and brights at the same time only when obnoxious 4 wheeler with brights on is coming up on my 6 .... yea i get on his butt and throw all my lights here ya go buddy see if u like that! i see them speed off into the night. Sometimes i forget to turn them off my bad.

 

There is another fog light thread that is still very current.
Just look down the list.

 

Dont know where you learned about lights but try this turn your low beams on in the fog, then shut them off and try your fog lights they should be set lower, if not then you need to adjust them, so them being as bright as high beams only happens when you are high or have a general lack of sleep, known if the truck biz as fatigued driving. Now if you come at me in the dark with your driving lights on you will be getting not only my high beams but also 800 watts of off road driving lights mounted on my moose masher and forward mounted on my mirrors. I like to see the mooses really well.

 

Oh boy, here we go, another fog light gripe thread......

I don't understand the problem. Unless the "accused" is using highbeams, 100 watt aftermarket bulbs or "for off-road use only" K/C daylighters, quit your g/d'ed bellyachin' for Pete's sake. If lights bother you that much, drive during the day. If not, I've seen special glasses at some truckstops that look like regular sun glasses that are specifically designed for reducing glare at night.

 

I need the extra lighting at night, so I should only drive during the day.
And that is what I try to do.
Sometimes I get stuck having to drive at night, and in those situations I use the fogs.

Sorry, but me being able to see a bit better what is in front of me is what is most important to me.
If I had to rely only on low beams in this Volvo, I would probably be driving at 45 mph - and really pissing off more drivers as well as being more of a danger.
