Is it possible to turn fog lights without turning on the low beams?
i was just wondering about that and about those GSM car alarms, that in case of theft the system will call you and notice you, and it gives you the possibility of turning of the car and to talk thru the siren it brings. Would it be possible to install that kind of alarm system in our IS?

no idea about the alarm, but for the fogs, you'd have to mess with the wiring. i know a few of the is300 owner's did this before... i wish we could have fogs independently as well but i dont wanna mess with the wiring.

Actually, I want this for looks AND safety.
When you drive in the fog, it's better to drive with the fog lights on and low/high beams off.
The low/high beam lights reflect off the water vapor and come block your line of site.
Why do you think Fogs are usually placed so low and aimed low/wide?
My Audi Q7 has a light switch from OFF > Auto / Parking Lights / On
Only when I toggle the swtich to Parking lights or On mode can I turn on my Front or both Front and Rear Fog lights.
During Foggy weather, I drive with Parking Lights and Both Fogs on =P
Sometimes, during the sunrise and sunset where people don't know weather to turn on the lights or not, I'll run with the Parking lights and Fogs instead of just leaving my Headlights on.
I don't like blinding people when I crest a hill (there are a lot of hills in my area)
Edit - The Fog Light bulbs are 9006
You can get the hid kit from xenon depot
I've heard regular halogen bulbs are more efficient for cutting through bad weather conditions.
But HID's just look so darn good, last longer, and draw less energy =P

This is just the way I drive and like it.
You should keep your headlights on while driving in bad weather or at night.
I don't want you to get hurt cuz of what I said =P
