Message	1. fogs are meant to be soft, diffused light for use in foggy or hazy weather conditions. 2. the housings are simple reflectors. 3. you are really just blinding to on coming traffic and creating a huge amount of scattered light and glare. You are defeating the purpose of fog lights for some false "looks" argument.
