Oh, the horror...
That should work fine.I've got a set of the reproductions. And I bought a pair of OEM GM fog lights without brackets to use with the reproduction brackets, which bumped the price up a little more.

Why not? Texas roads are dark.Out of curiosity...why would you want the fog lamps on with the high beams?
For others looking to implement the repros, yes they are exceptionally less expensive, but you must also expect to do more than just a little massaging to get them to point where you want.Damn...you're quick. That's pretty much what I was going to show.
I'll opine to not, under any circumstance, buy those repro fogs. They are absolute garbage. I sent the set I got back the next day and managed to get OEM with Curt's help.
Some years back, we had a monster lighting thread with some serious information, data, resources, and fantastic minds contributing to what became known as the 'lighting bible' on this forum. It became common knowledge that fog lights are not appropriately used pretty much everywhere, in general.Why not? Texas roads are dark.
Thanks!

If one has their high beams on and the hi-four, too, it means they want to see way down the road for safety reasons. With the fog lamps on, they illuminate directly in front of the vehicle and cause your pupils to dilate and therefore kill your distance vision.
Fog lights are for just that: fog, rain, snow, and inclement weather, where even your low beams will reflect back to you and blind you. Fogs were meant to see the sides of the road, your lane if you will, at low speeds, turned on by themselves.
That's it in a nutshell...hope this helps.
And your brain is not damaged? LMAOThanks! I read that thread too.
Yup. Turn your dash lights as dim as you can and still readily read your gauges. Having the dash lights full bright causes your pupils to contract, making it harder to see the road ahead.It became common knowledge that fog lights are not appropriately used pretty much everywhere, in general.
Yes, indeed....and now after your post, I believe I wrote 'dilate' instead of 'contract' in my post. I'll go fix that. Thanks.Yup.
