Default They're really bright... could cause panic braking.

Not to mention that you're going to absolutley ruin the night vision of whoever gets stuck behind you at a traffic light. Our stock lights are bright enough for all but the very worst conditions- and that's when you should turn on your rear fog(s).

So the 1156 single filament bulb used for the rear fogs is brighter than the 1157 dual filament bulb used for the brake lights? Doesn't look like it....you're prompting me to take a pic, give me a few....

The problem is not with dual fogs- it's that he has the fogs coming on with his brake lights.
