Rewired my fogs

Goldmember · Nov 5, 2007

I'm electronics-illiterate and still managed to get it right on the first try LOL. Only thing is that it works with the key ON, I think there's a way to do it without leaving the key on but I didn't feel like getting too crazy with it

it was pretty easy to do. No pics at the moment, only because within the next week or two there's going to be another upgrade :dancing6:. What sucks is that I can only use the upgrade for about 3-4 weeks... then the snows go back on

(Yep, getting rims)

I HATE FOG LIGHTS!!!!! Seriously, it's not foggy out, dont use them :hammer:

I have to look at cars all day long with those damn things on and it bugs the hell out of me, they are pointless and useless. Have you ever used them in the fog anyways, unless they are yellow bulbs, they make no diff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just leave them off, unless you think it makes you look cool?? and in that case, :ass3:

well they arent exactly considered "fog" lights anymore... they are driving lights, they are functional, do make a difference and definitely look cool ;D

If you seriously think having your fog/fag/driving lights, what ever you want to call them make s an improvement, then obviously you dont need to be driving at night. If you cant see good enough with your headlights GET OFF THE ROAD!!!!

hey fella, dont get your panties in a wad. so you dont like fog/fag/driving lights or whatever their called... you are one, of a very few, that feels that way. on top of that, your statement that they are useless and dont make a difference is moronic!

do some research, personal opinion doesnt matter in this situation. the FACT is, they improve lighting conditions at night and most of the general public think they look great! AUTO MANUFACTURERS ALL OVER THE WORLD INSTALL THEM ON THEIR "HIGH END VEHICLES" FOR A REASON!!!

when i get my car out of the shop, i'll getcha some pics from the driver's seat out here where it gets dark

i dont live in the city with all the street lights and other cars putting off additional light. even if i did, i'd roll with the driving lights on cause it looks good :naughty: out here i have FOG at certain times of the year, deer, raccoons, possums, armadillos, turkeys, coyote and all kinds of stuff that CAN and HAS jumped out in front of my car... thank god i could see and drive!!

in addition, im a drivin mofo and have logged plenty of miles, commercially and personally, on the road (night, day, wind, rain, sleet and snow)... im like the f'in mailman on wheels!

if you see me comin up behind you, move out the way!! i'll be the one blazin my "driving lights" cause im cool like that

imp:

ANYWAY!!! back on topic

eliyarbrough · Nov 6, 2007

I know I don't see good @ night! So, I don't drive @ night unless I realy have to! I love my fog lights though!! I have had then rewired for about 2 years, I think. It is a very good mod, I think again. Either you like it or you don't.

Goldmember · Nov 6, 2007

^^Right on brother, it's all a matter of taste. Like I said, I suck at electronics, my only reason for attempting this was based on the excellent How-To's available on the 'net and the fact it looks bitchin'.

Eventually I'll get better headlight and foglamp bulbs and be able to see stuff at night... actually, my headlights are still aimed a tad high... need to fix that!

Man, seems like nobody can take a little harrassment anymore??? LOL!!!!
I was just trying to make a point that it is usless to have them on ALL THE TIME!!! Like those of you who drive around with them on during the day, i mean, COME ON NOW!

As for not living in the city,neither do I. I own a trucking company, and drive all over the US. I mainly work in chicago now, and they ALL use the driving lights all the time. It really bothers peoples eyes, mainly truckers. One day, you need to go for a ride in a semi and see for yourself. If you are going to drive with them on, at least ake sure they are adjusted properly. It's really bad when your aux lights aim higher than your reg lights.

LOL hell, thats all you had to say :dunno:

mine are adjusted for functionality but i have to admit i run them during the day. actually if you read any drivers manual (or in my case go to SEVERAL "safe" driving classes for the job i had) you'd see that its a good thing to run your lights during the day. it makes you more visible and with the number of cars on the road these days, that sure cant hurt!

on the same note: i have a question for you... do you and your drivers clean your windows well and often? if not, doing so would cut down on glare from oncoming traffic. ive spent a lot of time on the road in my lifetime and am ANAL about my glass!

Yes we do, the windows are ALWAYS clean, in-fact I make my trucks go twice a week to the truck wash. Here in Indiana they use Liquid Salt Brine which believe it or not, will eat thru alumnium, and seeing how the fuel tanks are alumnium, I make sure they get washed 2 times a week.

That being said, I have never had a problem with a mustang's fog's ever, it's mainly the newer Silverados and the Dodge Rams ( I have a Ram) they both have aux. light outputs of over 100watts, and on the silverado, the fogs are the same size as the headlights..... it just kills me, and as being a truck driver, by law we are suposed to look into our mirros every 3-5 seconds (hardly ever do it that often unless I got a Wide Load on) so it is just a PITA!!! Plus all my guys including me drive at night so it's really bad. I guess it's really a pet-peeve of mine thats all........ hell, I even removed the fog lights from all my trucks and put LED turns in there spot because I knew if they were in there, my guys would run them. LOL!!!!!

I'm sorry if I came off as a dick, but it's just something I wish more people would understand, that and the turning on your high-beams on the highway.... just because there is a median, it still f*cks wioth our vision comming the opposite direction.

I thing you got that Bass Ackwards lol

Do they make the driving lites with yellow lenses? I would prefer yellow

Goldmember · Nov 7, 2007

I should probably say my lights/fogs are not on all the time... I had a Bonneville with DRL's and Christ they sucked!

It's just a neat lighting trick, everybody knows stock fogs really don't do much. They're small and set well inside the bumper. I bet the Fox GT's had better fogs than the SN95's do.
