Ron, I am not some air head blonde, and I do not appreciate you be littling
me. I like using fog lights because the roads here are awful! We had a
governor a while back named Ed Diprete, and to save money he decided to turn
off the lights on major highways at night, and 15 years later, they are
still off and he's not even in RI anymore. We have a traffic problem that is
like Los Angeles and roads that are like England.

OK, you're no air-head blonde, but if you honestly believe that fog
lights can improve your vision under clear meteorological conditions
just because the roads are awful, I'd claim that you're still mistaken
(and what is one supposed to presume about someone whose handle is
Bubble Butt? ;-) ). I've had fog lights before because they were
standard equipment on the car I purchased in 1992. I've observed very
carefully what the road illumination is like with them on and off.
Under normal conditions (no fog), they do NOT allow me to see the road
any better than low-beams alone. As I mentioned before, these lights
are designed only to allow you to visualize the edge of the road in
fog so dense that low beams cannot penetrate it, an extremely rare
condition, even in Rhode Island. That's ALL they're for.
Unfortunately, that's not all they accomplish, because they DO make it
more difficult for those with whom you share the road to see.
