The only reason I can see it being excepted is if the fog lights are the only lights low enough on a lifted truck to not blind people. Then I guess it is ok.

Pisses me off when friends call me and tell me there A/C is only coming out the defrost on a Mustang, I tell them to check for a disconnected vacuum line and I figured they as least done that.

So when I do make it by he says look at it quick, so I go the the a/c on the firewall and see the vacuum line coming out trace it to the broken end, so in 10 minutes it's all working.


Now if it had been mine I'll had to pull the dash, the easy stuff never happens to me:argh::argh::argh:

Seriously guys??? Fog lights with low beams on is just a wall of light. Even on the highways when I do it, semi-trucks will flash their lights at me telling me to turn them off- whether I'm passing from behind or from head on. In the city there's no need for it. With all these new cars with their :edit: HID headlamps, why the hell would anyone feel the need to run MORE lights and turn on their fog lamps too? :s:

On second thought...next time some idiot in an import is driving with his fogs on I'm just going to run my hi-beams.

You know what grinds my gears?

When I leave my truck in the driveway sitting for 3 days start it up go inside come back out a few minutes later and I got antifreeze all under my truck. Somehow it mysteriously got a crack in the plastic from sitting there. :argh:

About the only reason any trucks' head lights ever blinded anyone is because they were improperly aimed. This usually happens when some numb nut installs a levelling kit and calls it good. Fogs have nothing to do with it. If you raise the front more than the rear, you have turn down the headlights to get them aimed back down at the road.

Simple as that.

I can tell you why:

reason number 1:
Because it's sooo cool in their mind

reason number 2:
Soccer mum does not know that she turned on the fogs...

I run the Sylvania SilverStar Ultra all the way around. They are bright as shit so i tend to get flash quite often and ppl tend to get pissed when i follow them. they are the best replacement bulb that i have found. and it is just a habit when i jump in the truck at night to turn the fog lights on because i live in the country and the extra light is nice when drivin on gravel. also if ppl piss me off in the city i hit them with the KC's lol

:offtopic:

It grinds my gears when those scooter kids are tailgating me in the city to use my slipstream.
Do they have any idea that the solid trailer hitch mount will kill them if I have to brake and they get under the truck?
I hate it when they pass me in the city in front of a stop light to be the first to get of the stoplight.
20 yards behind the lights you have those annoying scooters in front of you with a top speed of 35 miles. Of course "you" can't pass because of oncoming traffic...
And they stink like hell from 2-stroke oil.

But if you honk they always fall almost from their scooters, hehehe
