[s-cars] xenons in fog lamps?

[Tom Green]

Emre.

The s-car fog lights are for a different kind of fog.  Although the 
HID's may shine
through the late-night s-fest induced fog, that is just in your head. 
;-)   The fogs
don't have a suitable adjustment to eliminate the bloom from too much 
light on the
pavement near the front bumper and thus hinder visibility up the road 
on a foggy
night that nature produces.
