I thought flood lights were lights used on say the outside of your house, to light up a large (relatively) area. Fog lights are the little lights under the headlights like in C24owners signature, who appears to be more interested in post count than helping out. =P

lol..

I've been more of an asset to this forum than the two of you combined. There is no need to open a thread to ask what is the difference between fog lights and flood lights. A simple google search could of answered that.

Now that you did his homework.

Mods, please this thread

I didn't say you've never been an asset . It just takes class to either a) not post, or b) be respectful. He has 150+ posts, so he's most likely not a super n00b/troll [well... the former maybe]

A and a definition would have been nicer. =)

I agree about using search. I didn't post about 15 threads because I've done some searching.

It's not just the multiple threads started about stuff that's either A) Been discussed repeatedly or B) Is easy to find - it's also the incoherent way the OP posts that annoys some members and I understand that. Flood lights are associated with houses. Fog lights are small lights mounted low or aimed low on the front of cars (or bright intense red ones on the rear in our case, as well) and puddle lights are underneath exterior mirrors or door handles and light up the area under the door - sort of light the courtesy light we have in our front doors only on the outside.

I agree whole heartedly with that. I believe the ops primary language is not English, so I cut him some slack. Good answer too. =)
