Confession time. Back in my early motoring days I had an Astra SXi which I often used to drive along dual carriageways with the fog lights on, for the simple reason that people ahead moved out the way quicker. [Hangs head in shame - the Vauxhall legend lives on!] But I've matured now.

With the Scoob, I never have them on unless it's foggy, but with the permanent worry that I'll accidentally leave 'em on for the next day come twighlight time (seeing as I can't see the little warning light from my driving position). Mucho potential embarrassment.

Ratman,

It really f**ks me off when people leave them on. Not good for your eyes and it doesn't look good, whatever you may think while driving... Rozzers don't like it either.

Turn em off.

Not seen hardly any scoobs with them on

Another Confession.

When driving down country lanes the front fogs can give substantially improved road edge visibility fog or not, I agree with Paul H, standard lights are poor. And front fogs will never dazzle they only illuminate 5-10 yds in front of car.

No excuse ever for rear fogs when not foggy these just dazzle people.

However also agree with Ratman, if you're a lanky git like me your right leg obscures the fog light buttons so you cannot see the warning lights.

If you're a short git like me the steering wheel obscures the buttons, and you can accidentally nudge the button with your knee getting into or out of the car. I have solved the problem by removing the fog lights (front ones only, of course).

Greeny,
Front fog lights DO dazzle, particularly when reflected from wet roads at night.

I drive HGVs for a living and when I get a tosser with rear fog lights on well, I make him sit in pure day light. Hey HGVs really light up the road and melts muppets. Have you seen the spot lights on these units and they are all 24 volts.
