i run them on all the time at night - i like how they help light up the road between the car and the bottom edge of the low beams.

I don't care if they shine up the road better. Fog lights always look cool to me for oncoming cars. It's appealing.

I trade my clear fogs for the yellow fogs because I like the looks of it.

Now i dont drive with them on anymore because it looks tacky on my car. My polargs M4s are white with a bit of blue hue, my fogs are yellow (obviously) and my headlight projectors are white. It looks like a light show from up front so the fogs stay off now

I would hate to waste such good yellow fogs. I rarely use fogs for lighting anyways. lol. its more for photoshoots than for actual performance

an easier method for those of you who have hid fogs would be to just switch the plugs to the hid kits.

low beams controls fog hids
fog switch controls low beams.

this is what i did and it took 30 seconds under the hood.
