LOL.
Because its against the law in most states.

 

So how do you keep the fogs on while on high???

 

By law, the fog lights cannot operate with the high beams. I ran into this with a vintage MG but got cleared because it was older than the law and was grandfathered in as legal.

Try driving in the fog with your high beams on and you'll find out why this is a not a good idea. Fog lights throw a low, flat topped beam to light up the road surface without glaring back and blinding you This is why they are mounted close to the road. They are good for short visual distance and really don't add anything for high speed driving. What you really want woud be a set of driving lights. The beam patterns vary depending on the desired distance and effect but they are much better suited to performance driving. Check out the Hella, Cibie, or PIAA web sites and they explain the differences. Mounting these in a higher position (like in the grill) would give a better result. An inexpensive way to upgrade the high beams would be to change from the standard 60w to a 100w bulb. Of course these aren't legal either since they exceed the 60w max federal standard but . . . There are more powerfull bulbs out there but then you need to think about upgrading wiring and fusing to accomodate the extra current load.

I was told by my dealer that if I put something on my car and it affected something that WAS covered under warrenty then the warrenty is void on the affected part. The sanerio he used was , if I put 20`s on my car and the wheel hub ( bearing) would not be covered. He also said if it was Mopar products that then the warrenty would be ok. HMMMMM makes me wonder about all the sxt cars with 20`s on them that the dealer put on, warrenty void? I guess anything to make a buck, can`t blaim em.

If this were true, then replacing the stock Continental tires (SXT Models) with Goodyear, Firestone, Pirelli or whatever brand replacement tires would void the warranty on the wheel bearing. According to the law, the dealer has to prove that the non-oem component caused the failure to invalidate the warranty. Just because the component failed does not mean the bolt on component in question was to blame. Check out the SEMA site listed in my previous post for more information.
