[s-cars] xenons in fog lamps?

[Pasqualoni, James E]

Wow-what qualifies you to make those statements about Daniel's writings?
You just think your car's lighting works better cuz it looks
cooler/brighter?  What about glare?  Are you familiar with the principals
that govern lighting (lenses, projectors, etc.?)  All you're doing is
blinding the poor people that have the displeasure of driving the opposite
way that you're driving.

I have HID bulbs in the fogs on my //S, let me be the first to tell you that
Daniel's obviously biased writings are wrong. Just ask the crowd that staid
late at //S Fest '04. They were "Blinded by the light, reved up like a  . .
."

FWIW, mine emit a very white light from the fogs, whitest of all my HID's.
