I know you think that putting HID in fog lights will be like a set of headlights but as I mentioned before the output depends strictly on the angle of reflection off of the reflector. These facets are engineered for a very specific purpose.

Headlights are designed to "throw" light down-road while maintaining a cut-off line to not blind other drivers.

Here is an example of a standard low beam driving light:


"Fog" lights are simply auxiliary lights they have no throw but create a "bubble" of light around the car giving you more peripheral. They are intentionally designed not to project far because there is no cut-off line. If they projected far they would blind oncoming traffic.

Example of a normal fog light beam pattern:



So WHY is this a problem? Because you can easily outrun your visible light while driving at night.

By "outrun" I am not saying you are going to travel at the speed of light but rather the vehicle is traveling faster than your reaction time is capable of of stopping the car if, for instance, there is a broken down car in your lane on a dark highway or a kid walks in front of your car on a rural road.

Vehicles are required to illuminate the road furhter than their maximum stopping distance. So not only is this illegal but it is seriously endangering yourself and others.

I am not trying to rain on your parade but this is not my opinion, its fact. I am sorry but this thread is a good example of what not to do to your Camaro.

Safety first. That and imagine if you get into a crash. I feel like the opposing driver would have no problem suing you for driving without proper headlights.

I think everyone is trying to save you a ticket... There are a lot of factors that go into what counts as a headlight, distance the light shines, intensity, height off of the ground etc. Good luck not getting a ticket

I like the look as well, so i'm not bashing it. Just throwing some more ideas to consider

There's a lot more in the vehicle standards section.
