fog lights are supposed to illuminate the road directly in front of the car....theyre not supposed to be a second set of headlights.

thats the thing i dont get about fog lights...wats the point of projecting directly in front of the bumper if that area isnt visible to begin with?..unless u get the super bright ones then u can actually use them like head lights

fog lights are supposed to be used in fog. they're reflected by "fog" and illuminate the road ahead of you without reflecting back in your face like regular headlights are. they're pointed down on purpose. most people use them for the looks though.

it's really hard to describe unless you've driven through heavy fog, especially at night time.

Mine projects out to the sides more, than to the front. But my HIDs light up the road ahead a lot, so I dont need the fogs to do it.



I never took one showing the ground, but thats the basic aim

The stock Fogs are aimed like the stock headlights, but the beam is right below the HDs.
