replacing foglights

[Mike88]

Most of you with 93-97 Camaros will know that visibility is horrible at night. I've done the Sylvania Silverstar conversion and although my lights look nice and bright, visibility has hardly improved. I'm wondering if anyone has ever changed out their foglights with normal driving lamps, so that you'd be driving with 4 normal beams as opposed to the only the two? Also if this is possible, what kind of bulbs would fit? would it require a higher wattage fuse than the foglights take? and is this legal?

i posted this a while ago...anyone have any thoughts. I mean you see the Pontiac Montana minivans with 4 lights on at night all the time. I'm pretty sure the two so-called fog lights in the front bumper panel of the Montana's aren't really fog lights...because they don't seem that bright. I want to do something like the Montana set-up on my Camaro.

Silver, do you drive with those lights on all the time? I'm worried about putting driving bulbs in and then getting pulled over cuz the cop thinks I have my fog lights on and its not foggy out.

foglights aren't suppose to be all that bright, or else they wouldn't work in the fog.

Yeah I realize that, but at the same time as far as I know its illegal to drive in normal weather conditions with the fog lights on. I'm assuming there's a reason behind that, and it probably has to do with not blinding oncoming drivers.

I'm glad I live in the south I suppose. I hear everyone talking about things like, getting a ticket for not having a license plate in front of the vehicle or having to pass emissions tests and not being able to drive with fog lights on when it's not foggy out. I guess they just don't care about those things here in MS. :)

Most people around here that have fog lights drive with them on at night instead of their regular head lamps. Mainly for style reasons, and because they are pointed at the ground(or at least should be) and won't be shining in on coming traffic's eyes.
