Brights and fogs: is this really better?

[DFrank]

I have aftermarket fogs, so I have always been able to run both the brights and the fogs at the same time.



With both beams on it does LOOK much brighter, and the foreground is WAY better lit. I could not really see much difference way out at the far reach of the bulbs though. While it did seem better, I wonder if it is actually harder (not much though) to see at the edge of the beams reach, due to the extra light in the foreground.



Any thoughts?

If your looking at the Brite Box the real advantage is having both the low and high beams on the headlights lit at the same time. I agree the fog lights get "washed out" as the overlap the headlight.

Just be aware, it is against the law to run hi-beams and fogs at the same time. It'll get you a ticket at the least, and the hi-beams will bounce light back from the fog and tend to blind the driver. Check it out.
