In these darker months I don't see any issue utilising the front fogs with side lights. They don't dazzle and provide improved and widened lighting. Plus they look cool lIMO!
They do dazzle and are illegal. You should only use fog lights when there is fog, clues in the name . People who use them as 'driving' lights should have them permanently removed along with their licence.
That'd take half the drivers in Coventry off the roads then.
Proper DRL's are indeed a rare sight retro fitted to cars, it tends to be those very dull, and very blue little Xmas lights people drape in various squiggly lines. These provide no safety enhancement, and to my eye certainly don't improve the looks. If these people were taken off the road as well as people with fogs on all the time, we would be left with maybe a hundred or so drivers in Cov
95 % of drivers who get dazzled by the lights of oncoming vehicles, are those silly buggers who stare right at them, and then write a load of rubbish in forums.
