AMEN to that, Bob.....I live in the semi-boondocks, with deer, fox, rabbit,
raccoons, groundhogs, and all sorts of other animals not only in my
backyard, but on the road.  Fog lights help to catch their eyes glowing,
and have saved me many a time from hitting them...........SLM

P.S.  The A4 foglights are especially good at this......
