driving/fog light ??
For you guys running the new trucks I have a question - are your fog/driving lights switched separately from the headlights? In other words, do your driving lights have to be on when the headlights are on or is it driver's choice?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I've wondered about the drivers I've met running with the fog lights on when the weather isn't snowy/foggy/rainy. Sometimes worse than bright beams for oncoming traffic.
Those drivers usually get a dose of my brights and I've started to wonder if it's stupidity on their part or a mfg design screwup. On my Dodge they're separate switches and I figured Ford did the same.
Now that I know they don't have to run with the lights on, it back to "educating the ignorant".

What I have found to be most unsafe and very obnoxious is those who put OEM Starlights in either the driving lights or fogs. When the owner installs these OEM Starlights they often do not know how to adjust them so that oncoming drivers will not be blinded by the low beam Starlights. I have found this especially true with those who do a lift kit and also Starlights. If the owners of Lifts and Starlights thinks it gathers them more attention, they are correct.
What is most unsafe is when I have flicked my high beams on to "ask" Starlights to lower what I think is oncoming high beams, in turn, the Starlights that were maladjusted low beams are flicked to high beam and the high beam just blinds the path in front of me......Rude and unsafe way to garner attention.
