yep, sigurado... tried doing that before na... and may mga nakasalubong akong mga ibang galant din na naka ON yung fogs nila, di naman ako nasisilawan.

yup, i agree... yung mga stock fog lamps ng mga sedans (don't know about suv and such) are aimed just right.

tama ka 20vanda01. dyan sa cavite majority aimed high yung headlites nila kahit low beam silaw ka. tapos madalas left head lite lang gumagana. have you ever encounter pati signal lites nila ay yellow fog lamps? grabe duling na duling ako nung nag flash yung signal lite nila. most of the time pag byahe ako ng costal road gusto ko magbaon nun coleman 10,000 candle power na spot lite. para pang silaw sa mga yun. even the buses along costal road have lite that are aimed high. 4 retagular headlites kahit low beam aimed high pa rin. may binato na nga ako dun minsan bale wala sa mokong tuloy tuloy pa rin sya.

[B]November 17, 2003 -- It can't be just me -- I've read complaints about them in letters, columns, and the occasional editorial -- but does it bother you, too, that every other airhead on the road seems to have his/her fog lamps on? All the time! Like they were some kind of fashion accessory.
Why is it that so many morons whose cars increasingly feature fog lamps don't understand or care when they should be on and when (almost always) they should not?

If foglamps are to be used or its intended use is for offroad or foggy conditions, then why the heck does manufaturers of sedans has this from the factory? Not much fog where I come from, but why do I have a foglamp installed from the factory? bottom line, foglamps are just like the altezza tails. No matter how much we hate them, they're here to stay. Learn to co-exist.

To those with this highly annoying and eye-straining habit, I offer three questions:

Do you think you look cool cruising around with your fogs on? Maybe to fellow boneheads you might, but not to anyone who actually knows what fog lamps are for. Leaving them on for no reason is simply stupid. Besides annoying other drivers, it wastes energy (fuel) and eventually burns out the bulbs so they're not available when you need them. Dumb!

this person is dumber than I thought. foglamp bulbs doesnt consume as much electricity, this is why we have an alternator

Do you think you're easier to see, and therefore safer, with fog lights on? If that's your motive, Einstein, why not run your high beams 24/7, too? Someone must have taught you that brights are bad for oncoming drivers, and you may have noticed that yourself. Guess you haven't noticed that most fogs are also bright and/or mis-aimed enough to be nearly as bad.

1. foglamps are used to be seen
2. high-beams are used to see

big difference but this wise guy doesnt see the difference and still compared and contrasted the two totally different uses of each light.

Some worse than others
Some are worse offenders than others. Most BMWs have fogs, and their drivers (for the same reason they bought their Bimmers) nearly always leave them on. "Look at me!" they're trumpeting. "I have a BMW! Look, it has fog lamps! Ain't I cool?" Drivers of trucks and SUVs are making macho statements with their fogs. Pilots of sporty Pontiacs and tiny supercharged Subarus with fog lamps big as saucers are mostly BMW wannabes behaving accordingly.

as mentioned earlier, foglamps wont hurt oncoming traffic when they are aimed correctly. My [Subaru] foglamps are so low for me to blind on-coming traffic.

DRLs
Then come DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), lower-power lamps that burn whenever the engine is running. Required for years in Canada and Sweden -- because they've been proven to reduce accidents by making vehicles easier to see in shadows and low-light conditions -- DRLs have become increasingly common here.

major accidents also occured when the driver thinks he/she has the headlight on mistaken the DRL as the headlight on. The driver gets rear ended, no one can see the car from behind. DRLs illuminates the front, not the rear where most cars are prone to accident.

karding...naka-on yata yung foglights mo in your avatar pic, hehe

hey, i am one of those a**hole bmw drivers with fog lights...guess i'm a moron. although i don't have them on all the time, and for those people who do get a lot of fog where they live (carolina, virginia, etc.) - they are very useful. if you do drive in fog, you're pretty much blind without fog lights.

although i have to agree with the author above that improperly aimed headlights and unnecessary driving lights are an eyestrain and very dangerous. however, properly aimed fog lights are NOT.

look at this fool. this author thinks bimmer owners are buying them for its foglights :hihihi: and BMW wannabes pala ako, hahaha. What makes this author thinks that people are wannabe BMWs [well, its performance and quality, but not the foglamps, hehe]. How can I believe/respect someone with this kind of comment? ahh, kids nowadays, cant afford a car or parents wouldnt want to buy them a car and instead, they bash on the people who can afford.

**Ungas** · February 4th, 2004 04:05 PM

Like I said before, if you can't beat them, join them! :D

**ghosthunter** · February 4th, 2004 08:56 PM

time to upgrade my headlights to 100watt H4 bulbs to match my 100watt foglights. :D hehehe

**revoGSX** · February 5th, 2004 01:46 AM

in my opinion, as long as naka aim ng tama ang headlamps eh okay lang.. pero pag napansin mo yung incoming vehicle na panay ang senyas ng headlight.. you better check your headlight kung naka-aim nga ng tama..

ako din guilty sa paggamit ng fog lamp.. dahil laging naka-on..oks kasi gamitin dahil mas nakikita ko yung side ng road at mas malinaw yung few meters ng road ahead... just tell me kung meron kayo na-encounter na revo 2003 na nakaka-silaw fog light.. baka kasi nakakasilaw nga sa mga sedan...

**Karding** · February 5th, 2004 03:22 AM

eto, nakonsensya na ko sa mga mareklamong tao about foglamps. Umorder na ko ng cover. Protection na din against rocks.

Yellow fog cover

pero yung sa headlight ko, clear color.

**kuroy** · February 5th, 2004 03:29 AM

lupit ng ilaw mo sir karding ah...ang lalaki nga..

mas maganda kung ndi yellow ang cover..cguro smoke or something

**Karding** · February 5th, 2004 03:45 AM

kuroy smoke na lang kaya? Teka, baguhin ko ang order?!

**Karding** · February 5th, 2004 03:49 AM

eto yung smoke. Binago ko ang order ko, sana umabot bago nila ship.

I was wondering as well kung babagay nga ang yellow.

**kuroy** · February 5th, 2004 04:16 AM

karding....astig ang dating di ba?.. as in...

yellow para sa aking sapantaha ay masyadong alanganin sa kulay ng car mo and then clear headlight.

smoke ay may dating talaga instant sick ika nga.
