When do you turn on the fog lights?

scottwww · 02-01-2007, 12:35 AM

My E92 is my first car with fog lights. After seeing a few people write posts about changing the bulbs in their fog lights, I have noticed some cars on the road with their fog lights on just whenever.

When do you all run with your fog lights on?

Chesmu · 02-01-2007, 12:39 AM

whenever.

esbezee92 · 02-01-2007, 12:56 AM

thats quite a poll you got goin there

Caster · 02-01-2007, 12:58 AM

My lights are on everytime I drive =]

FirstClass · 02-01-2007, 06:26 AM

That's the most intense poll I've ever seen. Nice.

When it's foggy !

Otherwise the police will pull you over in the UK and give you a right ticking off !

dude this is the funnniest thread on fog lights.!!!

yellowg555 · 02-01-2007, 12:17 PM

Holy crappers, that's the longest frickin poll I've ever seen on a forum. I always turn my fog lights on. The extra 2 lights could possibly make it easier for other people notice you, although I'm pretty sure the xenons make my car very difficult to miss at night too.

I ticked them all

booforty · 02-01-2007, 12:23 PM

I am very strict and only use my fog lights when a Ship is coming in.

KL2DC · 02-01-2007, 12:26 PM

This is an amusing poll, had fun

I'm inclined to leave them on, no telling when a ship might cross my path on the interstate

Minipuck V 2.0 · 02-01-2007, 03:53 PM

i roll fogs with the angel eyes ... i don't see it as an option ... i do it cause it looks cool, piaa angel eyes and hid fogs

STE92VE · 02-01-2007, 04:10 PM

I turn on the fogs on my wife's TL to dry out the housing that gets wet from rain water that enters into the little hole that was made by a rock that hit it.
I'm sorry for this post, but this reason was not one of the options for the poll.

shragon · 02-01-2007, 05:49 PM

i only turn them on during fog and rain. i'll be getting some yellow bulbs for them.

Park2670 · 02-04-2007, 10:42 AM

In all the BMWs I drive, if it has angel eyes... I use them and fogs until its necessary to use Xenons. And when its raining for foggy or just difficult to see with the Xenons alone

BMWPower06 · 02-05-2007, 03:16 AM

i use my fogs almost all the time, i have an HID kit in it too

jonerik26 · 02-05-2007, 03:25 AM

all the time, just cause i think it makes the front end look vicious on the road......

booforty · 02-05-2007, 04:32 AM
