One of my pet peeves, too... worst part is that (Texas) law allows
a secondary pair of driving lights... people, turn off your stupid
fog lamps!

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
I like to use fog lights because correctly aimed they light the
side of the road just ahead of the car, without it I feel like about to
drive off a cliff as many times there nothing to reflect back at us out
at about a hundred feet as we're driving up, down, and around
California's mountainous roads.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
ditto. I leave my fog lights on when ever my headlights are on - but I have
them aimed so that I don't blind oncoming traffic or the vehicle ahead of
me. They are also the factory, kind of dim, with a flat pattern fog lights.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
How many light switches have you burned out?
If you are going to run more amps than stock through the stock switch,
you will need a relay or the switch will melt down.
I have to fix this all the time for people. Did a CJ7 last week that
just had halogen lights in instead of stock sealed beams. His switch
melted down. I added a relay for him.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
That is against the law in most places. You have to have the low beams
on. They point down anyway so don't reflect too much.

Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
Hi Mike:
I haven't burned out any switches. If you are referring to the KC Hilites
Quad Beam Kit, it comes with a relay. If you are referring to having the
fogs come on along with the high beams, it works fine, with no problems.
