Exactly....they don't throw the beams out very far, but make a great extension to the side to maybe about 10' out - so rainy parking lots, seeing animals in the neighborhood, driving a twisty road and in low visibility situations they DO help quite a bit. I've also used them in severe fog, and they helped in that situation as well.

 

Fog lights do as their name implies; they provide low ground light during fog or ground mist only. In the early days, they used a yellow light, which was found to produce a better spread of light in ground mist, without creating a blinding splatter of light against the fog/mist that headlights will do.

Too many folks think that fog lights are supposed to give extended light. They are designed to provide ground light during a fog or mist situation.

 

Never use mine. See very little difference even in fog.

 

My point was not for guys like you that make correct adjustments, but the ones that go to far: accidentally or intentionally!

 

My favorite time to have my fogs on is in the drivethrough. My trucks got a 6" lift so when I get behind someone at the drive through, I tend to blind them. So I turn my headlights off but leave the fogs on. They are 3000 lumens of yellow goodness, so it looks so cool driving through and seeing everything around me yellow

I'm a child at heart and things like this amuse me.

 

Maybe I should have posted this with the instructions, Disclaimer: Common sense not included.

I like to think I do things right too.

Anyway, got my lights yesterday, now, time allowing this weekend,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
One thing I noticed were the connectors. The back of them are wide open. I plan to pack that area full of RTV, and use plenty of dielectric grease on the joint and contacts.
