fog and (ahem), "cornering lights"

[Larry C Leung]

I've always wired my fogs to work with either the dip beam or marker
lights. In heavy snow, even dip beam has too much back glare. Then it's
much better to run marker lights and LOW mounted fogs, and stay under 45
MPH.

In NY State, however, this is not the legal set up. In NY, the dip beams
MUST be on with the fogs (all states require cancelling fogs with the
Main Beam). I get around this by having a marker light defeat toggle
switch (hidden, of course) that disables the fogs during the marker light
function only for inspections. I was never bothered by the police running
markers and fogs, however. Most likely it's because the vision and
weather was so horrendous at that time that they had other things to do.
