Are they supposed to have a low pattern? Because mine don't. They are more like auxiliary headlights that are not good. Seriously thinking of dumping them. Question then is go ACR-style, or I have another idea of painting the covers to match the body and killing the "fog" holes altogether. Anyone do or see that before - pics?

I always liked them and I wouldn't cover them up.
What about making them into day-time running lights?

I have HID's on my fogs, makes them totally useful!
I have HID in them too and still think they are a waste.

As far as daytime running lights - HEY BUDDY I'M NO CANUKSIAN!

The fact that they look so cool is function enough for me. I love driving with them on during the day. Gives the car a more menacing and lower look.

Friends complained that the fog lights were blinding them even with the headlights on..lol

I always used the fogs when I used the headlights...avatar for example.

Now I run HIDs in the headlights and never use the fog lights at all.

I also drive with them on almost all the time.
I want to be as visible as possible so people stay away.

You could use the holes to plumb cooling air hose to your brakes.

I have heard in the past that the fog holes are not effective intakes of air - thus the use of plugs on the ACR cars as opposed to a real brake duct. That is one of the reasons for my thought of trying something new and ditching the fog hole altogether.

Yup...something about a vacuum or zero pressure or something....in other words, wind/air doesn't actually travel through the ducts...they just kinda twirl around in a turbulance around the opening.
