So... The more I look at the front of my car at night, it needs something else...
Been toying with the idea of a HID kit... but then my driving lights (fog lights wouldn't match the headlights in colour, which would annoy me.
What have you done with yours?

As the op calls them 'driving' lights I presume he (illegally) drives with them on quite a bit.

what is the reason that front fogs are illegal to drive with, as the copers near me says its because they will dazzle oncoming drivers, but they dont look any diffrent (brighter) to normal headlights to me and me mates ???

Some do, so don't. Mine are so dull they do absolutely nothing but then I see other cars with them and I'm blinded. They probably just don't take that into account

Incorrect, I like them on for photographs... being a photographer, little things like odd colours between headlights and fogs irritates me.
