Definitely not me for 2 reasons:
1)I don't have LED spots
2)You will never see me driving with my fog lights switched on.

Oh, and I wasn't on Beyers Naude today.

Nice to see someone obeys the rules as well regarding foglights

I only use mine when there is poor visibility or heavy rain. People just don't see us!

I know they aren't legal, but I actually like the front spots. Never really had them before and finding that they make a genuine difference to visibility up close and on corners.
The one I don't get is back fogs. They are very distracting and have no benefit (except for the fact that on our cars they light up in a cool triangle).

Where I stay we constantly have thick mist, the rear fog definitely for fills its function. I have even replaced the number plate LEDs to red, which gives a awesome affect at night. Not legal I know, but the led seems to still give a whitish light on the plate and red onto the top of the rear bumper.

no of course it's fine if it actually serves a function, my gripe is particularly with people who have them on in morning traffic on a clear day.

Have you seen the guys in the US, have linked the fog into the brake lights and when applied it flashes 3 to 5 times before staying red. Almost like a F1 car in wet conditions.

I saw a thread about making it into a brake light, was sitting in the car thinking how awesome it could be if it could flash like an F1 car for bad weather.

Same here.

There are a kazillion opinions, tests and facts on the internet, they were designed light the area right front of the car up, there would be zero time to react to anything you see that close.

So has everyone seen Zwartkops now use a Toyota 86 with TRD kit and exhaust as their pace car? I couldn't hear it... But 5 stars to the tail car (an Etios) getting some tyre squeal going!

Were you at the Passion of Speed festival this last weekend? From what I could see the pace car and my car were the only 2 86's there?
