Wow, I didn't realize this was such a hot topic

I don't usually drive with my fogs on, but after reading through all the posts, I may just give it a try. See if I can generate the same excitement this thread drew from other members online

Why does it bother people when the foglights are on? Is it because they think its useless or does it really blind them. Does it annoy them just because they don't believe in them? You have to really think about where the annoyance is coming from.

Like, IMHO chrome wheels on the E60 is really ugly, especially when its a cheap american brand with wrong offsets all sunken in. Really that annoys me, but I have to understand that its their preference and leave it at that. The best I can do is laugh but not have to argue about it. Just my opinion.

...
As I said in previous OLD threads about this, I know people who are having a problem with them, since they get blinded by them.

It's not because they don't believe in them.

Hard to undrstand if you are not annoyed and blinded, I know.
But we all have to accept that there are others out there on the road that think and feel different.

There really is NO reason to have them on. Just leave them off for the other people on the road.

Fogs/low beams at night and fogs only in the twilight or lowlight.

What about HID fogs? I'm thinking on getting some in mine. Is 50watt too bright for fogs?

Why would fog lights be annoying to people? They are close to the ground and so wouldn't blind people in the rear view mirror and they are much dimmer than low beam lights. Also, if people drive with them on during the day there is no F#cking way it could blind someone considering how low the light is... I think all the people complaining just have a real problem... I really think they are just pissed off losers who are always angry at everything and probably have no friends... just for the hell of it, I drive with my fog lights on 24/7... seriously people need to get a life if something as small as this really affects their day... how about all the retards that drive at night with just their parking lights on? Any thread for that?
