dodge_dud94 Do it!

 

They're not doing for you what you think they're doing for you. Fog lights put a lot of light just ahead of the vehicle, which is what you need in any fog dense enough to require them because you can't see very far anyway and you're driving slower because of it. But when it's clear and you could see further ahead with better lighting, that big splash of light just ahead of the vehicle robs you of the ability to actually see further ahead.

If you're just driving around town with streetlights and traffic and lots of light sources around, no harm no foul. You're advertising ignorance, but it's your call. Your headlights don't provide much beyond showing other drivers where the front of your car is, anyway, in that environment. When you're out of town on unlit roads where your vehicle is providing the only significant light, that big splash of light just ahead of the vehicle causes your pupils to constrict more than they otherwise would so you cannot see as far ahead into the less brightly illuminated region of the main headlight beam. That deer or steer or pedestrian will be invisible to you until you're closer to it. If you didn't have that big bright spot just ahead of the vehicle, your pupils would be less constricted and you'd see the obstacle/grille destroyer/thing that doesn't really deserve to be killed sooner, and maybe even in time to react to it.

If you're in mountain twisties where you're not getting above 35MPH anyway and illuminating the sides of the road where the critters hang out is important, fogs are good even when the weather is clear. That's the exception to the clear night/no fogs rule.

You want better night vision outside of town where there are no street lights, mini malls, billboards and so on? Leave the fogs off and turn down your instrument panel lights. Hide that insanely bright high beam indicator, too, so it isn't responsible for constricting your pupils, and do anything else you can to keep interior lights no brighter than they must be. If oncoming drivers can see your face, your interior lights are way too bright for safe night driving.

 

^^^ Woah. Woah. Clam down there UU. We don't allow intelligence to interfere with our arguments here.

 

Hate to rain on your parade but I don't have a problem with night vision.

I'm only 18, remember?

 

Mirrors look great. keep them flipped

 

^Here comes the sh1tstorm.

 

OP Don't listen to him!!! After all, he is a moron!!!

 

That's why I'm trying to keep your happy ignorant *** alive, remember?

 

I see just fine.

One thing I find is also an issue with my truck is that I have the brush guard that- believe it or not -blocks some of the light from my low beams.
Thusly, the reason why I run fogs on all the time.


That and it looks badass.

 

Wish i had foglights... Have any extras LOL... It has wiring already in it for fog lights...
