I know this isn't the thread this subject should be in, but it was started here, and I couldn't beleave what I read. By Karl's statement, he must never have lived where there is real dense fog. I currently live in a city in WV, and often the radio/news say there is fog, and on the way to work I go out and there isn't any. Maybe a hays you could call fog. I once lived in California in the country, were there is really bad dense fog cuased from the irigation ditches used to water the fields. When traveling in fog you must have your low beams on. If you have the High beams on the light reflects off the fog and into your eyes. The fog lights light up the area that is between your front bumber and your low beams, becuase often in dense fog that is all you can see. If you don't live in Dense fog areas, the the lights are not much use and are usually just for looks. I would say that most people don't need fog lamps, unless you might travel through dense fog.
Now back to the original thread. I think the blinking brake lights is a good idea, and plan on doing it when I get my care in two weeks. It'll be my first mod. With so many people using Cell phones while they drive, I think you need something like this to get there attention.
