More like marker lights...

A bit dim and sometimes 50% fails to work.

As Tombie says turn them OFF, especially in built up areas on sealed surfaces. If you don't, Ill assume you're a 24 Crt self exciter and treat you with all the respect you deserve.

yes but studies have proven, people who drive with them on look 10 times cooler.

Correctly aligned Fog lights do dazzle.....

Hi,
My impression was that the beam columnation was low and flat to shine under the fog layer and along the road as much as possible so as to not illuminate airbourne fog which simply reflects as a white glare.

So I googled it

How do fog lights work? - Quora

Not exactly a peer reviewed article, but it makes sense.

Cheers

And there we have the reason I don't get along with most people .... Am I the only one in the world that doesn't give a **** what I look like, what brand names I wear and "how cool" things I own are

Actually... I'd love to be a brand snob. Make all my brands made here in Australia please. It's hard these days. Shoes for example I'm back to pretty much Redback and RM williams ( Yeah right, like I can afford RM gear ).

Naah, just that their brains are emitting IR at under 273°K
