Usually not on the camaro, i can't stand the DRL's as it is, but in my Ram i drive with marker lights and fogs on all the time! my parents have a '99 30th ann. TransAm and i used to always drive that car around with the fogs on as well, it looks better in a TA than the camaros do

as long as its not really sunny outside I usually have my fogs on. I dont even turn them on right now though cause I got one burned out. theres nothin worse than only having 1 fog light.

As long as it's not really sunny, mine are on also. I just started doing it last week though, because I've had the passenger side burnt out since the day after I bought the car, and finally got around to replacing it last week.

Sometimes I leave the middle ones on without realizing it since the switch is in the ash trey.

I never understood why people do this, especially on cars that already have DRL's.

I had this problem to, get blowing out my passenger side fog in my 95 T/A. I was told that since Silverstars are apparently more sensitive than regulars, they were blowing out from hitting bumps and hard roads. Check to see if the bracket is slightly loose. Also, if you alternator is sending voltage spikes everyonce in a while, that will do it too.

I run a hid kit for my headlights 8000k chrom ballasts realy realy nice plug and play kit. But the fogs should stay stock imo they make fog hids but come on hids in the headlights are allmost over kill i cant imagin that kind of light coming from them two allthough i would consider a 4300k for em witch has the most usable light but isnt as blue than the 8k ither way its going to be way to much!!!
