nope, think it looks far better, they shine on the road and not in people faces they are not bright as to dazzle people and they make the front stand out alot more and look more aggressive, everyone can sl@g me now but i dont car because i much prefere it. i know its illegal but i have done since i baught the car and never once been stopped and see about 2 police cars per day on my way to my gf house. also past a police station 

Fog lights are designed so that in case of FOGGY weather they will make the front/rear of the car more noticeable to oncoming or approaching cars and for that reason they dazzle oncoming cars when they are used in clear conditions..

In my oppinion all that driving around with your fog lights on during the day or night when they should be turned off is alert other drivers to a (potential) prick driving around thinking he looks cool..

Oh and its bought..

alright no need to get Emotional!! u seem like your about to cry over me driving with my fogs on. also why are you insulting me by calling me a prick when you dont know me. you come onto a forum.....post 14times and insult people you dont know.

i have driven behind people (friends) and towards them as they are driving just to test how bright they are and if they are dangerous to other drivers, which they are not. if they were even remotly dangerous or off putting to other drivers then i would not use them.

There is a reason why its illegal thats all im saying, but I do find it very annoying when people drive with there fogs on..

Do your friends drive with their fog lights on?

Me having posted 14 times makes no difference to how I feel about  the issue..

Sorry that you were offended by my comment..

....Now then, girls!!

Fogs on/off in clear unfoggy/misty conditions always starts people kicking off - It's an emotive subject.

Personally I'm not that fussed about the image - It's not just very young drivers but also middle class BMW and 4WD drivers who do it. I don't think that modern fogs are dazzling any more than dipped headlights. The law dates back to when the only fogs on cars were those huge burners which were added and not standard on cars. England is far too slow to update its laws - It's still totally legal to take a King Charles Spaniel wherever you want, dating back to King Charles' time!

There is often sea mist and fog on the hills in my neck of the woods and so I'm glad the GTI has fogs. Also they are very useful driving into my tight garage at night!

i saw a mint cooper s the other day WITHOUT its front fog lights on, has anyone else ever seen such a thing?

  Nope, never! My other half has this habit too, she has a RAV4 and the fogs are massive!! They actually increase visibility at night, especially when driving down unlit lanes. Wouldn't say they dazzle oncoming drivers either.

Driving with fogs on bothers me too. I don't mind the front fogs, but following someone at night with that bright red rear fog light on is really distracting!

who the hell would drive around with that thing on and think it looks

....Some idiots (too many) are so unfocussed on driving that they forget to switch off their rear fogs.

[MikeGTI]

Or maybe they see someone coming towards them with their front fogs on and think there about to drive into foggy conditions.

There called foglights not "Cool Lights" for a reason.
