Driving lights -operation?
Tommy,

Driving lights are white and, if wired correctly, can only be used with
hi-beams. They should go off automatically when you switch to lo-beams.

Fog lamps, if wired properly, should only work in lo-beam and throw a yellow
light. Yellow does not reflect from the fog as does white light.

Fog lamps should be mounted as low as possible, driving lights as high as
the law allows. In OK, I think its 44 inches off the ground, your state may
be different.

And lights should be paired, two of each.

Lessons learned from 5 years in England (Can you say FOG?)

Kurt,

Apparently, fog lights and driving lights are two different concept.
While my dash switch reads, "Driving/Fog Lights," I found that they
only worked with HIGH beams on. This configuration is
considered "Driving" lights.

I always used "Fog" lights with low beams. My Driving/Fog lights do
not work with Low beams. In fog, therefore, they are useless. Since
I rarely travel with High beams, I am having them switched to work as
normal "Fog" lights with low beams. To each his own.
