I have noticed it seems like Ford/Gm/Chevy an others allow you to run with just parking and fog lights active, while Honda/Hyundai/Toyota and others you need the headlights on. Why such the difference? I know there is a "standard" for lighting control output, but every Hyundai/Kia i've ever picked up the fog lights only work with the low beams, and every one i "mod" so the fog lights can either be either independent or on with the parking lights / normal head lights.. I also see some newer Kia's floating around with factory fog light daytime running lights. On any of my used Hyundai/Kia vehicles i follow the same suite and also use the fog lights as daytime running lights. I just leave the fog light switch on, and they come on and off with ignition with no other lights active after the "mod".
Legally is this illegal lol? I've never thought about it, and always do the independent fog light control, so the fog light can be on with no other lights, or on with the parking/headlights.
Whats your thinking on this? My thinking is it safer during the day to have daytime running lights on for visibility purposes - even if they are fog lights, and its also safer to be able to use the fog lights with parking lights, you know in fog or dusk and dawn where you dont need full lighting, but still want to be "seen". I also like the "look" of the fogs and parking lights combo.
Inspection station always passes even with the independent fog light control and fog lights being used as DRL's...
