I thought with the latest cars, that the accessory lights only work with low beam lights? As this is required by law in many countries (don’t know about SA), this is also relevant to automated lights, otherwise you need to bypass the system... as done by many racers.

This is going to inevitably end up at - so people driving with their brights on during the day dont irritate you? Some say yes, others no and nobody can believe the other camp.
Yes, some people get irritated by excessive light, even during the day. You may not, but others do. People are different like that. Just like some people are finicky over noise, or posture, or temperature or 5000 other things
So its becoming more and more obvious from the answers in this tread that people are clueless about their fsking fog lights. I also suspect the ones who are the culprits aren't bothered by others using it either. So if you flash your brights at them they have no idea why
Agreed, maybe I dont even notice it because i think the sun is just shining into the lens.

But maybe they will at least move over so you can go past
It's not possible to accidentally turn the fogs on, since there is generally a different switch or additional action required.

Did I say anything about daytime? But the point of making brake lights less visible still stands even then.

So before between 6:15 and 7:30 is full on daytime?
Hell, the streetlights were still on when I left home.
And even if it is daytime, if they do it then, they'd do it at night.

My eyes must be far more photosensitive than some of the posters here. Hate rear fogs, night and day. If it does not bother you... great, but I struggle. It is also stupid, because those fog light bulbs are not made for longevity and can be expensive.
Polo with reg CA 624 954, you have been spotted on the N1. Blue skies, daylight and rear fog on.

I think most people understand what fogs are. However, I agree with Rickster about DRL. I know my car has the white DRL in front, but also reddish pink ones in the back. This could cause some confusion as they are bright enough to be noticed in daylight, though they do dim when the car senses it is dark outside and it turns on the main headlights.
On mine, the rear fogs are smallish in comparison, but *** bright.

It seems you don't know what "rear" DRL are. What car do you drive?
Show me any car that has rear DRL... :wtf:

Old figo:
1. rear light + brake light*
2. just rear light*
3. rear fog light
* 1 and 2 might be the other way around
