    Yes, when it's foggy. No, when it isn't.

    At least she knows when (not) to use fog lights now. In fairness though, the clue is right there in the name.

    Don't they use the death penalty a lot in Texas? If ever a law was appropriate...

    Nothing wrong with the lights, the mentality of the pricks who leave them on is whats wrong.

    As goes what you've tacked on to your other post - you turn them off once you're out of a foggy area. The presence of fog somewhere else does not affect their status in a non-foggy area.

    They're only fog lights of they're yellow, otherwise they're driving/auxiliary lights and you can have as many pairs as you like and drive with them on 24x7.

    :D Indeed.
    Front fogs on during the day can be a bit annoying, but it does make the car look pretty cool. Meh, I've seen worse.
