Fogs On or Off When Driving?

Off. My LEDs are obnoxious enough.

Off. My LEDs are obnoxious enough.

Mine are also obnoxiously good looking and light up the road quite well.

But I only use my fogs when visibility is lower than normal, like in the rain, fog, snow, dark roads or through mountains.

Always on. Not sure why you wouldn't have them on.

I feel like I lean this way only because we have amazing LEDs (if you opted for that package) and why wouldn't you want to turn on all those bad boys!!

Don't really think most are aware that Fogs go off when high beams are on (unless you own a jeep or car with that function). For the most part any one thats flashing you prob doesn't give a rats azz either. They are just telling you that you are blinding them. I only use fogs when visibility is less than clear weather. Car vs oncoming high truck or Jeep with 4 lights on when the weather is clear is a bit obnoxious, especially if all four are LED.

Hopefully you keep your fire arm pointed in a safe direction for the safety of others, why would you not consider others safety/ability to see while driving just the same. There is the possibility that they could run into you because you have 4 lights blazing at them blinding them when its not needed.

Depends on driving conditions. For normal around town driving, no fogs. If I need extra light, I turn them on.

Driving with the lower fog lights on proves to other drivers that I'm not driving with my high beams on (a common problem with the LED headlights)... At least for those who understand that fogs and highs can't be on at the same time. That said, I'm 50/50.

Good call. I agree, but far too many people don’t know this fact.

I actually always just drive with my headlights off, DRL and fogs on, when its not completely dark out or road has enough illumination from streetlights. Less annoyance for incoming drivers.

Your DRL only activate your headlights, your red running lights are not on. DRLs also turn off when parking brake is on. Having your rear running lights on in low light conditions as you describe might be safer..

In my case my DRL on the headlights is wired to my aux, and I set to parking/drl lamp mode (2nd detent from the left), which means my front and rear running lights are always on.

On for now. Will have to run with them off when I replace them with Squadron Sports Driving Combo lights from Baja Designs.

Always on, it's a flat, wide focused, low beam.
Changed my led fog with an amber cover. Works great

If your fog/driving lights are causing problems for oncoming drivers, something is seriously wrong. They are aimed down at the ground right in front of your vehicle from the factory. As they should be. If you’ve got an aftermarket bumper perhaps they might not be aimed correctly and you should take care of that.

More light on the road ahead in never a bad idea unless it’s compromising other drivers’ safety.

Only as needed weather permitting.
