Do fog lights make your car go faster?
 
I see a lot of people turning on their fog lights though I see no fog... Lotta ricer types, as well as some Eurocars. Once, in Las Vegas in July, I even saw a minivan with them turned on.

Tonight, where fog lights admittedly may have been appropriate, some clown tried to aggressively overtake me. But it was raining, and he/she didn't count on my V8 and AWD. I have to admit, the fog lights made it look like it might be a fast car. :-0 But it wasn't as fast as mine... :-) Don't know what kind of car since it was behind me, but it did have xenons, and of course, fog lights.

The biggest morons ever are ones that have their rear fogs on as well, and then they think one tail
 
light isn't working! Hahah.

Hehehehehe...

Yup, that is annoying!!! I've seen other morons with 2 rear fogs on too...
 
I think some Mercedes or even Jags have dual rear fogs... annoying!

Sia Bani 10-19-2004 12:39 AM

Haha...those would the ones that do the dual rear fog mod!

I love pointing it out to the idiots trying to make their car look "cool". I pull up next to them
 
and tell them that their rear fog is on...and not a single person has ever replied "I know" or "ya, it's supposed to be" etc. Not one!

Not faster, but driving with front fogs on makes the drivers "cool" factor go up 10 fold.
 
I mostly see SUV's, pickups, & Pontiac cars with front fogs on. I guess the SUV/Pickup drivers need a little extra cool than their big manly SUV gives them.

Adding fog lights to your car produces 26 hp. Turning them on adds an additional 15.

I drive with them on because I think it makes the front end of this car look cooler....
 
After I get teh e-codes I bet my opinion will change

Only if the black light or flashing LED's are also running.
 
Coffee can muffler tips also increase the overall speed effect of the fog lights, with no fog of course.

Personally, I use them only when needed, not much in the city. It seems most of the cars riding around with the fogs on all the time also have wings and spinnaz.

- Recently viewed a Toyota Echo with spinnaz, wing and of course fog lights running.
