sorry bud but if i'm on your *** at night then you need to change lanes. I hate it when people drive slow in the fast lane.

I think any HIDS over 6-7000k should be illegal. Dam ricer morons with their 8000k-10000k blue and 12000k purple BS is way worse than any halogen lamp no matter what the height. They're useless as headlights and distracting as hell.
Must be on the wrong site. It's the Chevy crowd that appears not to know how to adjust their lights. I only get flashed when I don't dim my brights in time. Never get flashed with my driving lights because I do not use them in traffic. On another point, I thought you could not operate factory driving lights when the brights are on. Is this correct? Mine are wired separate so I can use them with my brights. Does annoy the squirrels up in the trees though!

The OP is bitchin'....er... I mean giving us a "friendly reminder" about being behind a vehicle and the lower bumper driving lights are shining into his rear window. So, even if we turn off the high beams (as would be appropriate), when we are close enough, the driving lights that come back in the low beam mode are blinding him.


Personally, when I was a wee tot I always saw my dad flip the very magical rear-view mirror lever that reflects the majority of the light away from the eyes. I also use the magical lever and it works great! Heck, most cars today have a not-so-new-fangled "Auto-dimming" rear view mirror. Still magical, but eliminates ALL that grueling physical effort to MANUALLY activate that lever

Some guy goes through all the trouble to set up an account, just to complain about headlights, what an idiot. And it's only lifted F250's that are the culprits!

Which wire did you cut on your fog lights? I find mine useless on low beam and would like re-wire to be hi beam filler.

I think this is what I did:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...info-here.html

I believe it's cutting the signal from the high-beam indicator on the dash to the relay that controls the fog lights. By grounding it the relay stays flipped on and doesn't trigger off when the light comes on the dash.

If you search there are other options floating around:

To my knowledge a person in Ar can use factory installed fog or driving lights only. After market or add on are illegal to use for highway use. If there's any truly blinding lights on the road it's high end luxury cars and suvs stock projector lighting. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I used this. Fogs will stay on with the high beams. Great for some of the two lane country roads

The OP (troll) probably pedals a Prius. Anyway, you can also jam the relay that turns off your fog lights when the high beams are turned on. It just requires you to open up the appropriate relay and slip a piece of non-conductive material between the contacts. I did this on my old Jeep TJ based on a description I found in one of the Jeep forums. It worked perfectly and was easy to reverse by just pulling and replacing the relay.


Here is a link to the Jeep description -- probably similar for most vehicles: http://www.wanderingtrail.com/Mods/T...t%20Defeat.htm

I have a 2014 F 250 and a 95 Bronco and some flash me. Yes jacked up, stock and overloaded, and the occasional economic box. Used to have annual inspections to keep em right. I still check mine, play well and think of the other guy once in a while.
