93 944T w/fogs. I'm not one of those idiots that runs with the fog lights on if it's a clear night, but during rain, fog, snow, etc., they're great. I've noticed when I have them on, many oncoming drivers and virtually every trucker flashes their highs at me, mistaking them for high beams given their placement on both sides of the grille. I'm worried that, given the reaction I'm getting, a cop is going to nail me some day for "failing to dim high beams at oncoming traffic." Have any of you been pulled over and/or ticketed for running your fogs? Can the officer still ticket you despite the fog's placement as being part of the design of the vehicle? Are the 940 fogs even legal to be lit in the first place? I'm assuming that the 940 had to pass the DOT lighting requirements for import, so I'm curious as to your feedback. Any cops or lawyers, feel free to chime in. Thanks!
