My bad, I worded my sentence wrong.

I meant that I only turn my fog lights on when I'm on the freeway...at night.

Usually the divider walls prevent me from blinding the opposing traffic.

But since most city streets don't have such walls, I turn them off...day and night.

You should get your fogs checked if they blind opposing traffic. Fogs are supposed to light up the low to the ground...incase there is fog. Ever here of not using high beams in the fog?...they bounce light back at you and if its not foggy blind people.

i drive with them off. No need to use them when you got those nice projectors. I'll only use the fog lights if I'm on a country side road that I'm not familiar with at night. That's it. Otherwise, they will never be used. What a waste of good lights.

That's exactly why I use mine. I've always been a fog lights off kinda guy, but I realized that they just never get used and they're a waste. So I started using them when I got my IS.

Mine are on at night along with the HIDs. No sense in wasting them.

I have them on once my HID comes on, but would love to have it on without low beam. Wish there's a DIY for that soon...

Yea i asked that awhile back, 'HOW' but all the responses were not 'how to' but 'how hard it may be'... i really dont care how hard it MIGHT be, just point out 'how to'...

In my Houston suburb (Pearland, Texas), I've been pulled over by the cops 3 times for my headlights, and have had the hicks in their Ford F350s flash their high beams at me. I flash my high beams back, and I'm sure they're thinking that those are the brightest low beams that they've ever seen. LOL.

Dealer checked my lights, and verified that they are at factory settings for the United States. I showed the paperwork from the dealer to the cop the last time I got pulled over, and he let me go. He wanted to give me a ticket.

I'm 5 miles outside of Houston, which is the 4th largest city in the United States. You would think that the locals would be familiar with HIDs.

Thats odd... I remember when BMW started putting them in their cars and people here all thought they were high beams on, but that was years ago. I have never heard of anyone getting pulled over for them here though.
