I'll use mine without thank you! This is common knowledge and the reason why other countries (the smart ones) have cars with foglights that can be run without the headlights on.

Indeed times 3. I'm totally with you on this one.
Sychro, Will, Goth, Moby, Pika and I (towing my camper!) drove through a blizzard on I-81 last winter that turned our 1.5 hr. drive into a 4 hr. drive. We made a train of 6 trucks so people could see us better. 18 Wheelers were passing us (!!!) as we drove down the interstate @ 30 MPH in 4WD. Cars were going even slower, pulling over where ever they could. It was absolutely crazy. Near zero visability. We needed light focused on the road right in front of us, not a few feet forward where all you could see was snow coming down. I still haven't done it yet but I plan on wiring my fogs to work independently of all my other lights (which is how I like to wire lights in general) because having the low beams on in that situation just made it worse.
