Did you do that? Shame.

Am I under 50? :)

Come on Tom, we all know you are 29, just don't know when exactly you
made the "U" turn!

And people who drive with their fog lights on 24/7 in areas of fifty miles
visibility. Isn't four headlights considered driving with the high beams
on? Some are okay. Some are obnoxious. And all unnecessary unless there
is actually some fog.

The big difference there is that (properly aimed) high beams are aimed
higher, and fogs are aimed lower than your regular headlights. Fogs don't
bother me, high beams do. The key here is properly aimed. Many folks add
after market fogs, and have no clue how to aim them. As a result, they look
like high beams.

Whew, I'm over 50. Does that mean I can stop in the middle of the road
to clean off my windshield? ;-)

Be sure to put your flashers on so the guy who won't back off of 70 can have
something to aim at.

I drive 400 miles of Interstate once or twice a month. In some places, the
lanes are close together. I can see a HUGE difference in lights oncoming.
As I say, some four lights are no different than two regular low beams.
Then there are those blue obnoxious beams that are blinding even on low.
Then there are the four lights that look like they're aircraft landing
lights. And some as cross-eyed as that girl that sat across from me in
Study Hall that I couldn't tell where the hell she was looking. Needs to be
some regulations on those. In Utah, my home, there is a law on window tint,
and there's a device they use to measure that. Seems like it would be easy
to come up with one for headlights. I have some on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500,
and I never turn them on because I don't like the way they illuminate.
IIRC, there's a commercial for SAAB ? where the houses have Christmas lights
down the block, and they roll their two vehicles out, each with eight little
lights or so on each side. How much light is enough?

I guess enough to light up that Honda ahead of you stopped in the middle
lane changing wipers.

I thought the under 50 ran in to you while you was cleaning the wipers. :)

LOL! Like I said... properly aimed fog lights should not bother you at all.

BTW, I like your taste in trucks. 2003 Ram 2500 here...5.7 Hemi, 4wd, crew
cab, full size bed, and... fog lights (factory) g. Been a Ram owner since
1984.
