Suprash Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 FFS why do people put the fogs on when it is not foggy it really pisses me off. Do they put on the windscreen wipers when its not raining ??? I think front fogs should be linked to rear fogs that would stop them. But my biggest hate is people who just don't understand where the main beam is. Working nights I drive country roads in the dark on the way to work now when I can see the main beam of another on coming car a few corners ahead I dip my lights do they no do they fuck they dazzle you first and then dip them. If you do either of these thing you are all shit drivers You seem very angry at the moment Ian, lol, whats up ? I have to admit if I had a decent set of fog lamps, ie they were mounted in a lower valance instead of the light cluster I would drive with them onto. In fact I think all front spot lights should be kept on, for no other reason it just makes cars look cooler I cant say Im ever dazzled by front fogs in the day time...... Full beam users are a different story....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Lights are always on. Much easier in my old WRX, if you left the lights on and switched the car off, it just switched the lights off, no BEEPING, simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra666 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I only use my lights when needed It gets to me when Aholes have them on during the day usually idiots in Saxos and Vectras and of course M5's Volvos are on all the time as this is the requirement in sweden and they are built this way.

edd_t Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I always have my sidelights on. This is basicly because I'm colourblind, and can find it hard to see cars in the distance especially if they are grey or black. (or if pulling out of a blind t-junction that uses mirrors) if people have their lights on, it helps me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I don't use the sidelights as they're rubbish. Dipped headlights on in bad visibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree mate, it wasnt me that originally said that, as stated I have a Vectra too so I was agreeing with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was him that had a go at cats, in a thread about a members cat who had just been malled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Myself only at night or bad weather, may put my side lights on if its about to start getting dark. Pedestrians can be very unaware in towns, so i can see that point, i have used front fogs before on previous cars with bad lighting, although i've found high intensity bulbs are very good nowadays, and sorted poor lamps. My only beef is muppets who leave there rear fog lamps on, without fog, i sometimes leave my full beams on them, if im of a mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog lights, are just daft... but lights on is for enhanced visability... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm a bit paranoid about other people being able to see a grey car in dim light. So the moment it gets slightly murky, on they go. They're HID's too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I often put them on if I am hooning. (As someone else said earlier.) I also put them on if the sunset is really bright and behind me, cos the cars coming towards me are driving into the sun and may not be able to see oncoming traffic very well.
