Since I lost this person's contact information/email, I'm trying to get ahold of the fella who was making the foglights that had the lights from an airplane mounted into them. Apparently he had worked at a airport at some point. I was thinking his first name was Sergio, but I could be wrong on that. I recall he was from CA.
I had one light take a dump and need of a replacement is why. Anyone know of this person. I was thinking this site is where I oringinally found out about them. LK |

Let's get into the real world. 100W lights mounted low in the fog light position are useless as either fog lights (too bright, too much glare) or driving lights (too low for effective range, too much glare for oncoming drivers), and actually REDUCE your ability to see at any distance but right on top of 'em. This isn't my opinion, it's lighting 101 and eyesight 101. Why do you think the off-road racers have their driving lights mounted as high as possible? Those clowns who drive around with their fog lights on all the time are actually making it more difficult to see down the road. What they ARE doing is telling everyone else several things. "Hey, look at me, I'm rich enough (and cool enough) to have fog lights", and "Hey, look at me, I'm dumb enough to follow all those other sheep who think the way I do. "Oh, and I don't give a flying &#@* about other people on the road". Besides all that, using lights mounted that low for headlights is both illegal and stupid. They're below the minimum height, the lights themselves are probably NOT DOT approved for that application, and they give the nice (and possibly bored) officer a reason to stop you. I know I don't need that, and I'm guessing you don't, either.
End of rant. The Cap'n |
