I can see having lights on during the day for safety purposes. But
criminently, it doesn't have to be high beams or fog lights (four lights).
And when the visibility is good, the fog lights at night are just plain
ignorant. If these were just a pair of daylight driving lights, and there
were only two of them, I can see that. But why do they have to turn these
on during the day and have four headlights? At night, the four lights are
just borderline as bright as high beam.

I have them on my truck. The only thing they illuminate when I put them on
is the three feet in front of the bumper, and the guardrail. I usually
focus on areas other than that and see no use in illuminating that area,
except if I were out four wheeling at night and wanted to see right in front
of my truck. Not, if it were foggy, that would be another story.

I liked the headlight system on my '90 Lumina APV - low beams at
reduced output when the engine is running during daylight. Enter a low
light area or block the sensor and all lights come on full brightness
- high or low controlled by the driver. When SWMBO picked up the
vehicle, the salesman showed her the light switch and told her "never
touch it" no more dead battery until the teens discovered the reading
lights.
Most of the A'holes with "driving lamps" want them within 6" of the
road, showing more lighted area than the factory installed system, and
on when the vehicle is occupied. A Winchester 94 with a filtered scope
would improve these "Driving Lamps" greatly.
