Maybe 30 minutes to put this poll together. It's all for your enjoyment.

After I posted it, I thought it read kind of like a Dr. Seuss story. Green Eggs and Ham? And it made me laugh.

SAME. My only wish is that I could do it at night as well... has anyone tried/is it possible to point the fogs upwards more?? - negating the necessity of having the headlights on

I used to think fog lights were cool...and would just turn them on whenever.

Now I find it annoying seeing cars come at me with fogs on, unless there is actually fog or some other weather issue going on. I no longer use them unless I need to.

Using foglights without heavy rain, for or snow is a 50€ fine here.

PS: Fogs + angel eyes = looking good.
