Annoying rar fog lights!

Do you guys remember discussing about rear fog lights and how annoying they would be if we all turned them on for no reason? Well, I got both sides installed and tried it one evening.

I didnt realize the seriousness of my actions until this guys behind me in the middle of a traffic jam got down, walked over to my window, looking very similar to how my avatar looks!

He wasnt impressed, and niehter was I! So i switched them off!

So can you imagine being in a jam with an idiot like me in front of you?:p

I don't know about u guys but I like having only one side fog light...

I use it for people to follow me.

Let say you and your friends are going somewhere. If you were to lead another car to follow you, that one sided rear fog light will come in handy. If your car light is unsymmetrical, your car will stick out the most out of all the other symmetrical red lights in the high way. This makes your friend’s life easier to follow your fast cars.

Ahmed,

It looks like your rear fogs are also brighter (at least compared to mine). Is it the picture, or are your rear fogs really that annoying? I'd love to have a setup like that to blind the next guy that tailgates me.

rear strobes

Well, the constant tailgaiting problem in NY is leading me to have a firefighter friend of mine put in rear strobes. I cannot wait till someone decides to tailgate me!!!

lol

nah i dont have any spare sets but as easy as they are to find in NY im sure they are much easier to find in Cali..

Anyway, I bought those eibach springs I wanted and I was just wondering if they will make the 98 320 sit more like a 430?

You know I just drive with one side on all the time when I have my lights on......I get stopped in parking lots etc. all the time "hey you have a brake light out on the pass. side.." then I'm like nah I have it especially set on 1 side....baffles people, I like it......

I want to get the pass side so I can click it on when I desire & make it look like I am stepping on the brakes, cause I must have a sign on my car/forhead, PLEASE TAILGATE ME.....pisses me off.....it works well when I click this rear light on & see a car hit the brakes......dual setup would equal twice the fun?~*&^%$

Ahmed, as I recall when I brought this very topic up some weeks ago, you mentioend that you got this installed at your MB dealer for $35, right?

cgmike10, if/when you go for strobes, place a video camera there to, tape it & sell it......would be funny as *****....

I agree with Mach430, seems Ahmed's lights are a heck of a lot brighter than mine too....guess we will have to pull a Bruce & install some brighter lights...heheeeheee

Bruce, when you get bored/get a moment, take a photo at night of your HID lights on, against your garage or something....would be fun to see....whats the wattage you got on these bad boys...

ok long enough msg..

Ahmed, I wonder if you know what the wattage on the rear fog lamp bulbs are by chance, I am going to try to find out what mine are......we can compare notes at that point..

BTW - you have one of the more cherry lookin rides on the forums......
