    Two lights in the eyes or four lights in the eyes? Think about it. Usually the fog light are out of adjustment, and are brighter on the eyes, than the headlights.

    So. I know you, like so many other fog light protesters really don't care what others think on the issue but yer really not doing a very good job with your defense of saying that adding two more lights, with a completely different light pattern, are blinding people.
    I have thought about it. Also, since I drive at night, all the time, I see many, many cars and trucks runnin' their fogs and I am completely unbothered by them, so whats your excuse? The only lights that blind me at night are the nimrods that refuse to turn their highbeams off or the ones that run 100 watt kc Daylighters as driving lights.

    I like how you say, "usually". So, how do you feel towards the fog lights that are adjusted properly, you hate them too? If so, then your argument about only the missaligned fog lights is irrelevant.

    I guess you see more out of adjustment fog lights than I do because as I said, the only fog lights I get blinded by are the ones that aren't street legal.

    I would much rather see a freeway full of cars runnin' fog lights at night than I would a few cars with highbeams, but I guess that's just me.

    That's the other thing I don't get.

    People piss and moan about fog lights, missaligned or not, but you never hear any whining about the freight trains on the side of the highway with their aircraft landing lights being too bright. You'd think if fog lights blind these people so bad that freight train headlights would melt their eyeballs into the sockets.

    I know but I just don't see how people can claim to be blinded by an extra set of lights that aren't even focused the same as the lowbeams but then again, 9 times outta 10, the people that cry about fog lights are the same kind of people that gripe about the use of highbeams during the day to flash over someone who's passing you.

    And on the subject of high beams.........who's idea was it to move the dimmer switch from the floorboard to the turn signal? Always worked just fine for me on the floorboard

    I gotta say, I'm with Harvey Wallbanger! I always thought the same thing! The people that flash their highbeams must get "high beamed" occasionally too! When they see that bright light flash in their mirror and blind them doesn't that make them think "#### I can't see a thing right now! Maybe I shouldn't do that!" Course I guess not everybody is a thinker. Can't be sensitivity either, because even Stevie Wonder would see that bright flash! Those big truck mirrors just make it super intense!
