How often do you use your foglights?

Postby oneillt [OP] » Apr 19 2011, 5:01am

Hey guys,
Quick Question, how often do you find yourself using your fog lights? I have an 04' Sierra and I find whenever I'm driving at night for more than 3 mins ill throw them on, almost consistently. Just makes sense, more light-more visibility. Is there any downfall to using them a lot?

no if you use them everytime you crank it up, it shouldnt have any effect on them.

I use mine when on country roads. It really lights up the ditch.

Same here. Mostly when out at night on those roads that have little or no lighting. The fogs really do help with visibility in those conditions.

I turn mine on allmost all the time, because of the nuckleheads out on our streets. Figure its just alittle more visability for other drivers. Plus it just plain looks cool,, :shock:

Sometimes I feel that I never turn them off. Even at dawn or dusk, I will turn the headlight setting to markers and then turn on my driving/fogs. This way it turns off the DRL's and looks really cool!

Never thought of using them during the day with my parking lights. Gotta start doing that, I don't like the looks of the DRL
