Who gets flashed when FOG LIGHTS are on?

ufnavy06 · Aug 24, 2007

I get flashed every once in awhile. I think it's just people thinking 4 lights = high beams. I drive with my fogs on because they light up the road a lot better. Maybe that's why they flash me but I honestly don't think it's that bright. I drove with my fogs on in my Mazda6 and my Altima. No biggie. People associate fog lights as being in the bumper maybe.

I don't think I have ever been flashed. But then again I usually run my lower fogs more than I run the uppers. I have the GTS headlight/taillight covers on mine, no issues at all. Of course a little 3M always keeps things in place.

Do you have any pics? I have been contemplating that on mine, just not sure how I wouod like it.

I get flashed non-stop.

The 4 light = high beam theory is absurd though. By law, when your highs are on your car automatically shuts off other lights. If people knew this they wouldn't be so flash happy.

Oh well.

I stopped running mine because I got flashed so much. I've passed other GTs with theirs on and didn't think they were that bright, and why is it that the SUVs and trucks with the eye level brightest lights are always the ones that flash you?

maybe you guys should consider using yellow (amber) bulbs .... ?

the hell if I'm gonna change a single thing on my car because a bunch of morons think my high beams are on.

happened last night, guy kept flashing me so I flicked 'em on and flicked him off arm outstretched. d-bags...

I get "flashed" occasionally but I think some peiple just automaticaly do it when they see 4 lights comming at them. Two nights ago I was flashed on a secondary road so I just flashed my birghts on-off real quck and it turned out to be a county cop, but he hever turned around or anything so I guees he was OK with it.

I get flashed in my Explorer all the time. Lights are probably set too high. The funny thing is.....most people are too stupid to realize that fog lights and high beam lights aren't designed to work together. That is unless some backyard mechanic decided to wire them that way.

Either way, whe I get flashed I stand on my high beams (and my driving lights) until they back down. I'm just a jerk like that.

- I used to have on-coming vehicles flashing their headlights at me everytime I used my foglights, me thinking my high-beams were on.

- Then I found the perfect solution, I got the amber lens kit from Moss Mustang; I also put chrome trim rings on my foglights. The kit is actually just extra thick yellow film (16.5 mm thick) that covers the light (easy to install). The kit comes pre-cut for the headlights and foglights but I just used it on the foglights.

- Great solution. Everyone 05-07 Mustang owner with the grill mounted foglights should do this!!!

I agree, but not everyone likes 'the look'
I just found myself some High Intensity amber bulbs, and that was that.
