Blow me!
While driving? Last I checked, you can get a ticket for that too...

I am familiar with rear fogs, having owned two volvos.... an S60R (modded the crap out of it and then sold it - VERY fast, but nowhere near as fun as my Boxster) and an S70 T5 I still use as a DD - both had/have rear fogs - but they have obvious switches that make it obvious you are turning on a light of some sort...

on the boxster - I suspected I may have turned mine on, but wasn't sure how. I did figure out that pulling the headlight knob toward myself would turn on front fogs, but I was NOT aware that there were "multiple" clicks I could pull it out and activate a rear fog.

thanks for the info. so is this kind of like my watch dial - one click adjusts the date and two clicks out adjusts the time?? like that.. I pull it out one click to do the front fogs and another "click" outward to turn on the rear as well?

so you can't have JUST the rear fog on and NOT the fronts...

interesting.

If I got pulled over/fined for having my front fog lights on I would go ballistic. I would go to court with my lawyer and make sure the cop looks like a moron in front of the judge/bailiff/bystanders. That is just ridiculous. I'm not paying tax dollars for crap like that.

No one around here pays any attention to fogs, because nearly every car equipped has them turned on. I use mine on my DD as daytime running lamps if the sky is dark and cloudy (better to be seen). They work nicely on the Box since the light pods just kind of glow with them on.

I couldn't agree more, I use my fog lights whenever I please. I want as much light on the road in front of me as I can get and I have NEVER been stopped.
