I passed a 335 on the way to work after taking that picture on the previous page. I wondered what he was thinking about me having my fogs on...we gave the head nod, as i passed i noticed his fogs were on also 
I don't use them very often, just when the lighting is right for it.

here's a set- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nokya-Hyper-...7f0272&vxp=mtr
less than $20 w/free shipping!
They don't really match the eyebrows, I think the camera is making them look more orange, but they make a nice yellow color on the ground for 20 ft. or so around the front of the car

I feel there is no right and wrong here. It's all about what you want to do and who cares about anyone else.
I like to drive during the day with my fogs off because I love the way my OrionV2s look. I live near the beach so we frequently get thick evening and morning fog in the fall and winter. During those occasions I drive with my fogs on. Sometimes during sunset I rock my parking lights on with my amber fogs and Orions. I like the look on my AW 5 and it is the perfect lighting for sunset. My car is lowered slightly over an inch all around on H&R springs and I have never been flashed by on coming traffic because my fogs were too bright. Oh well, to each his or her own.

Today fog lights don't serve a purpose anymore. Especially lately with the addition of LED accent lighting which proves they are not serving an intended purpose, that is all it has been for a while now...accent lighting...with the latest headlight technology in place, they have not served an intended purpose for a long time now. It is more for looks and so that car manufacturers can say "hey our car is safer because it has them".
I drive with them on, i think it looks better, i really don't care what anyone else on the road thinks. I have never got blinded by fog lights unless they had an HID retrofit and i call BS on people that have. Even some of you said it yourself, they don't project light down the road so how can you be bothered by them?
