Hey guys...

Just a question, but do you run with your foglamps on all the time or just when the weather mandates?

Could you please state why you chose your selection as well?

I am kind of confused with these clear foglamps on my GX. They don't seem very functional, so I thought why not just run with them on.

Comments and mods, if this is the wrong forum, please correct.

Thanks..Rob

its part of the look with the GS. The Bluish HID's and the yellow Fogs is a signature.

Looks like I'm the only one so far who uses it when the weather mandates.

Yellow fogs is what makes a lexus a lexus!

Funny thing I notice.....the 'foglights' do jack in actual fog! lmao

I've got my lights on all the times (turning lights rigged up to stay on)... they don't even point straight lol.

I need them in the dark I can't see jack at night without them on.

Same for the IS300.

But I use mine when it's muggy out. Not sure why I chose to do that.

The fogs in my ES are always on whenever I use the headlights. Even the stock halogen bulbs in my fogs make the road light up better

i totally agree with you

They are "cosmetic" fogs. Don't really do much but they DO do something. They enhance foreground which is an improvement on the surface. Most people see more light and go WOW I can see now! Problem is what counts is down the road illumination, not 10 feet in front of the car. This extra light up front may also strain the eyes and make it harder to see further down the road even tho you think you can see better.

It's like watching tv in a dark room. Your eyeballs are set at looking at the bright image in front of you. If you glance anywhere else in the dark room (or the remote), you can't see crap.

Now of course, good cosmetic fogs with an even spread and correct design can supplement low beams and not cause any detriment. I find the SC fogs (that's 97 and up) do a good job of this.

If anything, nowadays where DRL's are popular and a good idea, it's nice to use your fogs during the day as DRL's to increase visibilty and safety. I turn my lights on in anything other than direct sunlight.

always have them on along with my headlights...just cause it looooks so darn nice in the daytime.

I've got yellow piaa ion fogs on my es, I wish they were a little brighter, is there anything I can do to make them look like this

The fogs on my GS300 w/ hid's are on all the time (the look). The fogs on my RX330 are on only when needed (looks better with them off on this one).

Usually fog lights, specifically yellow ones, are used to make yourself more visible to OTHER driver. The yellow part of the spectrum doesn't penetrate very far at all...

Had to take mine out to make room for intercooler piping, lol.
