Amber fogs too bright at night?

jbtaco2002 · Tuesday at 1:26 PM

curiosity question, driving at night if i have the amber fogs on, i get flashed by oncoming traffic all of the time...

when i drive with them set to white, nothing.

do you guys get similar reactions on the road?

i was thinking they could possibly be adjusted downward slightly since i do have the Westcott lift on.

I'm sure everyone here who lifted/leveled their trucks has also re-aimed their headlights, right?
Right...?

I keep mine on amber almost all the time - so far no flashes with them on or off, or amber or white. Living in the thriving metropolis of Podunk, Nowhere though I'm kind of glad I'm not getting flashed!

Couldn’t tell you guys.

I only turn on fog lights during inclement weather.

Don’t tell me you’re all douching it up running fogs when there is no reason to…

I'm getting flashed a lot since my lift, too. I need to adjust my headlights. Good doc posted here - it seems to be for square lights hopefully round are the same procedure:

Headlight Adjustment

Hey everyone, curious if your beam pattern is similar. I have the Westcott preload collar lift and adjusted my lights down a bit to hopefully be less blinding to oncoming traffic. These pics are from 5 ft away on perfectly level ground. First pic is regular, 2nd is high beams. To me looks...

No one has ever flashed Miss Daisy when her fogs were on.

(Stock suspension and tires)

I have been flashed twice in 2 months. So just assumed it was the bright LEDs. Honestly never thought about adjusting after lift and larger tires. So I guess I am that jackass as well. Will have to check into it for sure.

Closing in on 10k miles I've experienced no flashing, and I have no lift and stock size tires. I suspect the lift is the issue.
