See I am not either the only one....and strangely, I AM in Seattle.
To summarize responses from this list:
Lights are good when they're on my car, not yours.
DRLs = unnecessary lights that annoy oncoming traffic.
Fogs = unnecessary lights that don't annoy oncoming traffic.

Is it me, or do late-model Pontiac Grand Am and Grand Prix models come with
their fogs hard-wired "on"? Unfortunately, the GM assembly plants do a very
poor job of aligning those things, so they're aimed up right into the eyes of
oncoming drivers and mirrors of leading drivers. As someone who wears
sunglasses even on cloudy days because my eyes are only slightly less
light-sensitive than your average vampire's, it *hurts*.
Turn the damn things off unless it's foggy or you're not in traffic. They're
not "driving lights", they're FOG lights. Seattle residents may be excluded
from this demand as it's hard to see through the tear-gas clouds without
additional lighting.... ;)
