Fog Lights
Is it just me, or is it really dumb that one fog light comes on when you are turning or have you blinker on? I know it's supposed to light the direction you are turning, but to me it looks like you just have a light out. Aren't the headlights supposed to turn also? If so isn't the fog light coming on pointless?
I guess it annoys me because so many people think one of my lights are burnt out. Any way to turn this off?

Or just turn the fogs on when the lights are on

Otherwise, coding is the only way out. |

I don't care what others think, it just bothers me...think it looks dumb. I don't like having the fogs on all the time because they look so yellow compared to the xenons. Probably will just live with it, just can't believe they would come up with something so dumb.

That was a lightening fast, 180 degree about-face. Impressive.
An option for addressing the color temperature is installing LEDs. Another is to install actual yellow fog light bulbs. White "fogs" do not make much sense. Quote:

I completely understand its a safety feature...but why not just have both come on? Wouldn't that be even safer and not look as ridiculous having only one light on?
I will live with it until I get it coded. I don't care how it appears to others, but it bothers me. I only noticed it when the valet pulled my car up the other night. But since then others have commented about it proving it wasn't just me being crazy

Source? I see everyone around my area (NY) running with fogs on at night. Is it one of those laws no one really enforces, like tints around here? How does the police judge if it is "clear" or not?
