I can't beleive this?? Your using your rear fog light on normal conditions. In the UK it is highly illegal, as it s very distracting and causes accidents!

I personally agree with you and do not drive with them on and correct me if I am wrong but if you are in fog and are driving with you fog lights on you should turn the headlights off.

Yes. Driving in fog means, foglights on, headlights off, well in park position...
More lights isn't more safety!
Use of foglights without fog is illegal in Germany. Front foglights are not getting enforced very often, but rear foglights do.
DRL's are no option in Germany, but they are not illegal, since they are legal and required when driving in other nordic countrys.

Please correct me if I'm wrong that Iceman and others does not like rear foglights on, and I totally on the same boat with them. It's just like someone driving with left leg resting on brake pedal which causing brake lights on all the time. It's really annoying. Front headlight is not really bad but because it's freeform, some will be really annoying. Conclusion, turn them off when you don't need it.

[/quote]A funny point some US cars you must have your headlights on to turn on your foglights. I tired on a Firbird we once owned to turn off the headlights and just use the fog lights. All that was left on were the parking lights
