Remember, the more light you throw on the road the more your pupils will
dialate and counter act the light.

Re: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Fog Light Mod Questions
 
I'm another that rewire their stock fog lights to also light with
the high beams. High beams are the only way to go on a lonely twisting
mountain road, but without the side lighting the fog lights give, I
can't tell where in the road I am or if the high lights that are not
reflecting off of any thing means I'm about to drive off a cliff.

Goddammit, who sold this bozo a Jeep without first giving him
the IQ test? Yes, I know, a bucket a rocks could pass that
test, but some folks just are TSTL.

I didn't read the whole thread but what did he say that was so wrong?
Sounded like he just wanted some fog lights to use off-road and was
asking how to make them work the way he wanted. Maybe his nickname is
what got other people to start acting so hostile towards him?
