I know what are you talking about, i love the LED in the front but when you put the fog lights on its a total different story. personally i changed the bulbs to euro-light 4300K to match the same color of the LED, much better look for 25$, plus cops up here will bust your ***** and give you a ticket for too much light (150$) :-)

Good for them. They are, after all, public servants. Do you have any idea how annoying it is when you have someone coming at you with all lights blazing and you have sensitive eyes, or are older? Of course not. If you did, you wouldn't be such a selfish ***** trying to look cool without regard for anyone else.

Don't worry, you will get older too. You have no choice in the matter. Then maybe you'll understand.

Hey Gordon, i m not going to scoop down to your level and start with the name calling, i m much better than that, even if your old i m going to respect your age not you because obviously you don't have much respect for your self. I had the bulb color changed to white instead of that yellowish color they come originally so it can be the same color of the LED in the original headlight, doing that wont change the intensity of the light bulb it self. Some one at your age should Inform them selfs before they start the name calling. Word of advise, you should get your eyes checked if you are sensitive to the light, maybe get some night driving glasses and if you still getting bothered with the light i strongly suggest you to stop driving at night until maybe in the near future they come up with a device (maybe something like night vision goggles) and we don't need to have headlight on at night. Until then deal with it the best you can...

Your reply is too funny. One might presume that you've spent a number of years supposedly learning the English language. Yet still you completely fail at it's usage, and then have the audacity to suggest that you are better than I. Your suggestion that *I* should do something about inconsiderate ****** like yourself is even more laughable. Get real. Maybe Barney® has been telling you you're special for too long, and you actually bought into it.

The reason you got a ticket, or can get a ticket, is because you are putting out too much light. The reason there is a statue against it is because it is *inconsiderate* of other drivers.

Calling you an inconsiderate ***** is simply telling it like it is, bucko. You can prove that you're not one by respecting the rights of others not to be blinded by your lights.

Perhaps that logic is lost on someone as self centered as yourself. I'm pretty pissed off right now that my tax dollars have been wasted educating someone like yourself, who obviously has no respect for the language of the land or anyone besides himself.

Don't even presume to "advise" me of anything (you really are full of yourself). You have nothing to teach me.

Advising a ***** like yourself or even trying to teach a clown like you is something that will be hopeless and a complete waste of my time, and for you to think that your tax dollars were spent on my education is hilarious, considering the fact that I live in Canada (as I mentioned before, but you were too busy insulting ) and you live in the US, and I do respect the language of my land bucko, only an ignorant ***** like you doesn’t know that Canada and the US are 2 different countries. So if you want to impress me old *****, next time try to reply in French ;-). As for assuming that I am a ***** and by getting so “involved” in this matter, I can tell that the education you got clearly didn’t get you far enough to keep you from wasting your precious time on issues that don’t concern you.

Back to the main subject, again I am telling you, I don’t have Xenon lights installed in my fog lights, I simply changed the color to white to match the LED, and I didn’t get any tickets regarding that matter. All I said that you could get a ticket if you install a Xenon kit in you fog lights. With that said, I’m not blinding any one.

Ps: next time you don’t respect members of this forum, I won’t be as nice.

yes it would be. i've driven through thick fog and the stock fog lights do a great job. driving through fog with xenon headlights on low beam is bad enough. next time i'll just use the daytime running lights.

i can relate to Gordon. lights are just getting brighter and brighter and it's a real hazard. even the LED tail lights are a spotlight of red on me at a stop light. it's not required. do the japanese have nothing better to do than to fvck around with tail light intensity?

fog lights have a good history of having a yellow tinge to them because it cuts through the fog better. tinkering around with this kind of thing is next to putting on a folgers can on the exhaust tip. i use my fog lights when there is fog. others use them to....? i'm not sure.
