That probably happens to 90% of GT owners on regular basis (based on the number of posts I've seen on various forums). I've come to the conclusion that, yes, most people flash their lights because they think you have your brights on, but it's also because of the
amount of light you're shining in their faces. They don't care if you call them fog lights, driving lights, landing lights or Christmas lights; all they know is it's too much light. Plus you have to factor in the fact that GT fogs aren't like normal fogs, which are typically mounted low in the front fascia. Being that GT fogs are high mounted, they're putting out extra light at level that one doesn't want, nor expect to see extra light, unless you have your brights on.
Most Mustang owners will
claim that they enjoy the extra light put out by the fogs (because the real reason is a bit shallow - see below), but what I don't get, is that even after acknowledging that their fogs produce extra light, most continue to be belligerent about the fact that the extra light is bugging oncoming traffic. And if they're simply using them for extra light, why not use them as one would use their brights and turn them off for oncoming traffic?
The fact is, 95% of people who run their fog lights, even when there's NO FOG, don't do it for the extra light, but simply because they feel that their fogs "look cool". I'm sorry, but I just can't imagine putting unneeded light in oncoming drivers eyes because my fog lights "look cool."
OK, I'll :Zip2: now
(flame suit on).
