Exactly, especially during the day you can't hardly see the illumination. Isn't it being lit all the time (thereby drawing attention to the car and improving safety) the"purpose" of it anyways?

My old Golf's rear foglight was positioned really high where normally the driver side reverse light would be. But I had an European light switch and reprogrammed electronics to match so it functioned properly and I never used it on a clear night cuz that's just retarded. |

Technically these arent even fog lights but auxiliary lights according to thr CA vehicle code at least so there is no criteria for how/when they should be used. Just limits to placement and how many you can have |

The Norwegian law (simplified): http://www.vegvesen.no/en/vehicles/F...car/car-lights "It is not permitted to use a combination of fog lights and dipped headlights.Fog lights may be used as driving lights during daylight hours instead of dipped headlights. In principle, a combination of fog lights and full-beam headlights may not be used. An exception applies to cornering at a low speeds (10–20 km/h)." There's so many laws here about minute details of how cars should work that no one really knows what's legal or not. Rear fog lights are blinding at night. They are very strong. |

pretty much in the states people just throw a led into the housing and splice it to the tail lights..essentially it's an extra tail light/brake light but sits lower on the vehicle's rear |

My 4th strobes 6 times before going solid. I think I set a 10 second cool down so it won't strobe if I press my brake again within 10 secs

It's all about street cred around here like how the kids these days would leave their motorized spoiler sticking up at all times like it's already broken.
Back in the day the override switch was used to keep the spoiler down instead so the cops wouldn't easily notice that you are speeding in your Corrado or Carrera. |
