In my Saab I can't turn on the fog lights unless the headlights are also on. This seems to me to render the fog lights useless. IMO, fog lights are to light up the road near the car in extreme fog (less than, say, 50-foot visibility) when the headlights are blinding you by lighting up the fog instead of the road. You want to turn off the headlights and turn on the fog lights when it gets that bad. In the pre-fog-light days we'd turn off the headlights and drive by the parking lights when it was real thick.
So am I just missing something? Why would I ever turn these things on? (Note: I'm middle-eged, happily married and have no girlfriends to try to impress.)
