Every vehicle I've owned would automatically shut off my fog lights if I turned on my bright lights. If you're seeing both on I'm guessing they do not have their bright lights on.

All Villagers? We all come from different parts of the country so everybody here can’t be doing this same thing. You might have said the Villagers I have observed do (whatever). Then the rest of us that do not do it will feel more open to taking all the criticisms we get from so many people that don’t know us at all.

If you don't have a load in your rear, you may want to have your alignment checked.

I have driving lights (which might be labeled as "fogs" by some) come on with my brights.

I use my fog lights at night because they illuminate the sides of the road, that way I can see little critter eyes in hopes of not hitting little critters.

The opposite of mine. I can either use high beams or fog lights, but not at all at once. If my high beams are on and I pull the fog light dial, the high beams turn off.

Fog lights require a seperate switch to turn on and off. That's what I was referring to. Not sure what the original poster was referring to whether fog or driving lights.

The LED headlights in my car are brighter and whiter and sometimes I can get a flash for high beams even though I do not have my high beams on. I like fog lights because it lights up the front on the car much better than just the headlights.

One of the most used excuses drivers use in a car and motorcycle accident, "I didn't see the motorcycle". That's the reason cyclists have their lights on during the day and use a very bright one.

I love Florida but there are some laws down here that I just don't understand, like you can be in your 80's and not need to renew your license (and get your eyes checked) for six years. It is obvious that a great many Villagers have no business behind the wheel of a car. If the renewal period was one or two years after a certain age, many of these folks would have their licenses revoked (and we would all be safer for it).

Thanks for the info about cataracts Kathy!

See people with no lights on often. just about every night. Something else that seems more common down in Fl are people driving the wrong way on a highway or split roadway.

I find, driving with my brights on startles the dogs who are in position to defecate on my lawn. The interruption causes them to hold it in and thus save the lawn from a mess.

I had several autos with a switch that made ONE tailight very bright. What was the purpose of this?
