If its snowing, your lights ought to be on even if your car is blaze orange.

I'd prefer well-aimed fog lights with no headlights, but that's pretty rare.
I interchanged the stacked lights on my Suburban (which is painted in
"invisible grey") so the low beam is on the bottom where it belongs.  I'm
sure that people whom I follow don't realize the favor I have done them.  I
really hate driving a car being followed by light trucks with their
high-mounted lights.  Of course, the reason I moved my lights was selfish:
The low beams work much better in snow or fog when they are mounted lower.

Maybe you should mount Christmas lights on your hardtop.  :-)
