Default Actually, they're rather useful. I use 'em all the time in the morning when there's fog.

If for no other reason, I use them as a bit of extra protection to make sure I'm seen by other drivers.

Default Really i use them all the time in the fog and find they really dont make

any difference other than making the car look nicer from the front. Was thinking about PIAAs or Hellas, last night had heavy fog and couldnt see anything... they just seem so weak and inefective....

Default Installed 100W Gold Ion Dichroics. Pretty useful in snowfall. Don't

use them otherwise (very little fog in CO)

Default You don't drive in the right conditions!

When I have encountered fog in CO (it seems to happen around Boulder/Longmont a lot), the fogs really work well for me...

Default What do you expect fogs to do?

Seriously.

I find the stock fogs do exactly what they're supposed to - light down and to the side so that you can see the road right in front of you and the road edge. Or, alternatively, so you can see the road in front of you so that you can actually see the road when your headlights are just providing the "Star Wars Hyperdrive" effect when snow is falling.

Fogs aren't supposed to slice through fog like butter, you know...

Default I haven't found them to be very useful in fog. The road

directly in front of the car seems to light up, but I can't honestly say they allow me to see ahead any better in fog.
Maybe other fog lights are much better.

I think mine work pretty damn well. Just wish they were a little brighter.

Default Useless!! I can turn them on and back off again with no noticeable improvement in visiblitity

even in deep fog. They just don't seem to do anything. When they are on I can barely tell.
