Hi Dean
I have all four of the lamps on my Saloon wired for dip and main (main is
normal) I know my lights are bright but I also know they don't dazzle the
oncoming traffic as they are properly aligned. I have been routinely flashed
by oncoming drivers, usually the dipstick with the fog lights still on! I
know they wish they hadn't flashed me once they have had 400 watts of main
beam back! Why do they just flash instead of thinking if they are being
dazzled?

> FWIW, I normally flash my brights (or twin 100W aircraft landing lights in
my Alfa) at oncoming cars that are running with their fog/driving lamps on
because they tend to blind me (50+ year old eyes, ya know). The practice of
keeping auxiliary lamps on ALL the time seems especially prevalent among the
drivers of high-riding SUVs. Aren't they called "fog" lights for a reason?
I see them being used more like Christmas tree lights (ornamentation).
