Fogs do shine stright ahead, Ur very right but thats why they ar at the bottom of the bumper and not next to the lights

head lights shine to the side you fool so they look dull. fog lights shine stright ahead.

May use different refectors but i cant see them bee any different to the silver reflectors in standard head lights

have a kit kat

They point lower, There ment to shine under the fog rather than directly at it as fog is so thick with water droplets most light get reflected back otherwise

focus lenses hey? could they use different reflectors as well?

Ditch, Corsa_Sam. Thanks dudes thats what i meant and i think you guys may be right its about focus and lenses. Think a few people Have PMT or something today not been very nice oh well

do fog lights point higher than headlights as well? that could make them seem brighter

its all about lumens and the way the light is focused

its poorly worded, but the fella wants to know what makes them so bright.

my guess would be the lenses... or that they arent any brighter at all. It just seems dazzling when someone is driving towards you in the dark with four headlights lighting up the way!

Oops, im sorry

well thanks for that!

it was as though someone asked a question and you replied! when noone actually had asked anything :boggle:

this has to be the most stupid thread ive ever read.

Your telling people how a fog light works :lol:

If they didnt know how a fog light works by now then they must be stupid.

And all fog lights iluminate the road you muppet.

Unless you just use your fog lights as wanker lights and drive around like a chav!

The purpose of "fog" lights are to light up the road markings in bad weather.

Hense the word "Fog" light ;)
