lol yea I try and get as close as I can at redlights and traffic so that my lights are pointed at their bumpers instead of glaring and angling into the side mirrors. Seems to work alright.

Foglights shouldn't be pointed upward at all. They're really pretty bright if they're pointed straight at your eyes. If you've leveled or lifted your truck, yours are probably pointing upward a bit, causing them to shine directly into other drivers' faces.

From the link in my earlier post, they state that at 25 feet distance from the wall that you are using to aim your lights, the top of the light beam from the fogs should be 1.5 inches below the height of the center of the fog light from the ground (if the height of your fogs is 18 inches from the ground or less). If your fog lights are between 18 and 28 inches from the ground, the top of the beam of light should be 3 inches below the the amount of height from the center of the fog light to the ground.

It doesn't sound right to "flash at fogs", as they are designed to light up a short distance in front and to the side of the car.

If they are propery aimed up/down AND left /right then there should be no issue....

I've drivin. with fogs on in a mitshubishi lancer. Low too the ground and the fogs were factory, I had a-holes flash me routinely. just because they were on. mind you I live in Ct. These people are in a hurry to go nowhere, can't seee shlt without high beams on, and complain that there is way to much traffic, while they do 55 in the left lane. Of course they flash my fog lights. lol

I do not have HIDs, but I recently went on a road trip from PA to FL and I was blinded by many people with HIDs. I really do not like HIDs after that trip. If people are flashing you and flippin you the bird because of them, you need to get them adjusted correctly or take them out, IMO.
