Has anybody else on here noticed what appears to be a new trend in the country? That would be driving with "driving", or fog lights on all the time. Okay, I get the fog light thing when its foggy, but on a clear night when i'm on I-78 cruising along and I see nearly every truck and four wheeler with driving lights on, i have to wonder 'since when are the factory headlights not good enough for normal driving'? Some of these lights actually appear brighter than headlights themselves, and most times are not adjusted properly, shining into my eves. I personally find it rather rude when someone comes up behind me with these lights on that are not adjusted properly, and i mention it to the so-called driver in a polite way, and i get told 'F### OFF'. My solution now is to let them pass me with their governed truck, wait about a mile, and pass them at 90+MPH...just kidding. But if you are still reading this, your thoughts?

Try driving a Volvo. The headlights point down and are not adjustable.
And the coverage where they do shine really sucks.
I use the fogs because I need them.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
I was thinking about this last night. Fog lights suck. My lights r really bright and not adjustable. I feel badfor blinding people at night. At least fog lights you have a choice to blind people.

yeah, i know what you are saying, some headlights are super bright, my problem is with those who have super bright headlights and still feel the need to use those darn driving lights which are almost always not adjusted properly. True fog lights are yellow i think? i dont have any issue with them, just cant see why you need them on a clear night lol.

The only thing my fog lights illuminate is the dark spot between the bumper and the headlights. Not much you can do about something that close and it's not where I need to be looking crusin down the road.

Tell that to my shop. They said no. I will mess around with them tonight if i can find a place to.

Don't know about Volvos but some trucks have the adjustment screws on the headlight buckets which means you have to tilt the hood to get to them.Buddy of mine looked for an hour to find his, sure enough under the hood.

adjustment screw is next to the headlight for up/down no side to sideLast edited: Aug 23, 2012
