That's really neat and made me realize I've still got dangling wires two years in... oh well, it'll survive the final year now too I guess

Oddly enough Weathertech doesn't make anything for manual trans Fiestas.

The second will take a little while longer since I need to make a custom wire harness and figure out some added details on which bulbs to get and whatnot. Will post WIPs in my FiST thread when I start the project.

I use mine when it's raining and in on the highway (with lots of mist) for the same reason. That said I also use mine on dark backwards sometimes because the wider beam is nice.
Was going to post basically this, I also wonder about the fogs in our Mustangs for that reason.CrzRsn;n3555166 said:Ideally lights should be fairly low on car and should be aimed so that the beam drops 4 inches at 25 feet away. After reading a lot about foglight aiming over the last few days in preparation for this, I question the effectiveness of fogs that are right next to the headlights (like in the case of your TL and my old A6) since in my mind I imagine they'll mostly be shining the fog right back at you or have such as sharp drop to hit the road that the max beam distance from the car will be very small.

CrzRsn;n3555171 said:Guessing those are just to complete the S197 retro look since the 1968-69s had lights there. SN95s and S550s have fog lights where it makes sense.
Agreed but I've never noticed fog lights actually helping my visibility in fog on any of the cars that I've driven. Maybe fog needs to be extremely dense before there's a noticeable difference but I just haven't experienced it. I also use my fog lights in heavy rain on the highway when there's a lot of mist in the air and still my own visibility doesn't seem to improve. Hence why I'm more concerned about my car being visible to others through fog, hence my choice of yellow fog lights.CrzRsn;n3555166 said:Not entirely. A properly aimed fog light pattern is designed to light the road under the fog without reflecting off the water droplets suspended in the air. With that being the case, I can totally see how these Morimotors will be very helpful in fog, but I'll need to wait for a foggy morning to fully comment on it.
That describes my TL.CrzRsn;n3555166 said:Ideally lights should be fairly low on car and should be aimed so that the beam drops 4 inches at 25 feet away.
