i disagree, i run mine every night and if they are the same color as the headlights it loooks good.

what i hate is the rices that run hids or just blue or purple colored bulbs and have red or yellow fogs on

ya, i agree that the dual color looks tacky, i wouldn't use my fogs at all when i got HIDs because there was a slight color difference, now i got hyperwhite (or something like that) bulbs for my fogs and they match again

I dont know about Arizona, but here in CA, red lights to the front are illegal.

+1 to that. Being seen is always a good thing

Do you never leave Vegas? I live in LA and never get fog around where I live, but whenever I go up north there is a good chance I'll hit fog.

I think they look tackey too if they don't match the headlights.

Personally, I'm expecting to replace the foglights with some PIAAs or something. I've always liked driving lights better to illuminate the road and have run PIAAs on my '95 and '02. There are obvious choices in this regard and different light colors. I'm just planning on getting super whites that match the HIDs better

. Dude when I lived in Germany I had more trouble over there from the fog I lost count. Not to mention the military installation I was at was on the side of a mountain. Fog at least two to three days per weeks.

You can bet on it that if the car has HID lamps it will NOT have HID fogs and they will look yellow'er compared to the HID. Almost all ca makers do this.

My Acura CL had this, Audi, etc. If you have a halogen headlamp they will match well but once you go HID they will look off. I bought a set of Polarg M6's for my fogs in the Acura and they matched the HID extremely well b/c they burned much brighter.

They won't last as long but i too agree that HIDs with standard fogs looks terrible

SoFlaZ · 09-17-2008, 01:52 PM

I leave my fogs on all of the time. I am probably the least picky person on this site, but the one thing about the Camaro that I somewhat dislike about the fogs, at least on the SS, are farther apart than the regular headlights, so I might not use them as often. I think the certain Pontiacs with super spread apart fogs look fugly. Also, dimmer yellow lights supposedly allow you to see better in the fog. I wouldn't know because I have never driven in thick fog let alone with yellow lights.

They are but that doesn't stop anyone

I've noticed that the Camero and C5 Corvette have almost identical foglamp designs with the exception that the cameros have the bulb mounted from the underside.

Does anyone have an output pic (against a wall) of the patten of your foglights?

If i can get a set of Camero fogs to work on my vette, I will be most pleased.

thanks.

TaylorRyanSS · 12-18-2008, 04:10 AM

Please correct your spelling, IT'S CAMARO not camero...

After some thinking, i think this is a big issue. In those older pictures the HID's appear to be more Blue when they first unveiled the production camaro's but now as we get more unofficial photos of the ones in testing ans uch and the one pic where there was like 6 SS's.. the HIDs do not appear to be that blue or hyperwhite.

I most certainly hope they ddint use the standard Halogen bulbs on the fogs since the RS packages will use as the Daytime Running Lights.
