I just feel that, with all the people using daytime running lights now, parking lights + fog lights on = more obvious visibility due to the "staggered" lighting look it creates. that said, it DOES look kinda cool for some silly unknown reason lol. That said, I only do that around town: I ONLY use fogs on the freeway if i NEED to -- I feel that having them on attracts the attention of cops more.

Of course in the UK fog lights are illegal unless the visability is less than 150 Metres. I think this is because fog lights unlike normal lights are not 'checked' for direction etc as part of the annual test. In the UK if you think you should have lights on then the only legal lights are dipped or main headlights during the day.

I finally figured out what the problem was. Yesterday, I noticed my adaptive headlights were not working. Today, when I shut off my "automatic" fog lights, I thought things looked dark. I got out and looked and saw that my left headlight is out. Now it all makes sense. The car must sense the headlight out and automatically turn the fogs on to compensate.
What I don't understand is why it doesn't tell you that you have a headlight out on the OBC display or when you push the Check Control button. The vehicle is smart enough to tell you when it needs service, but can't tell you that your headlight is out. Doesn't make sense.
