    Well at least you are just running fog lights, yesterday I am coming home and got hit with lights by a truck on the other side. He had LED replacement lights in old headlamps, a light bar across the top of the bumper all lite up, four lights in the holes on the bumper, frinkn' marker lights on the edge of the hood, and another BRIGHT light bar on the top of the cab. The idiot had to be blind, he lite up the road for a mile and I think they called out the airforce to see if he was a UFO.

    THEN today, I got onto the freeway and here he comes up behind me. I had to pull off the road because I could not see in front of me.

    You should try leaving your wipers on at all times to get the strobe effect

    PS you're familiar w the difference between road and fog right?

    My apologies to all - It’s an unofficial policy/custom at this company - in the name of safety. I’m thinking of rebelling ...

    You should carry bb's with you they work wonders on bright lights when you dump them out the window!

    Fog lights, light bars, etc kill distance vision.

    Low speed only. Appropriate conditions.

    Ever had someone shine a million candlepower spotlight in your face? Keep running those fog lights and it'll happen.
