Not ordinarily, unless warranted.....since my Hawk sits 1.5" lower in the rear, my headlights are already naturally blinding.

Ppl flip me off all the time (flip as in high beam/low beam) (lol)

I always drive with them on at dusk and dawn like others have posted. I like to cruise town at night with only the driving and foglights illuminated, meaning the headlights down and hidden, but the cops don't like that, I have been pulled over numerous times for this. I just play dumb.....oh, my headlights weren't on? Why thank you officer

wow, and I thought I micro-managed my car....

I just leave the switch on...so I guess during dawn/dusk and when the main headlamps are on, I have the fogs on

How come I can't see any of the new posts in this thread?!?
It's stuck on 6-28-06 for me, yet I know there have been more posts.
Have I been banned from replying or something because of my opinon?!?

Because when someone votes in the poll, it says there is a new post although there really isn't. By voting the thread gets "bumped" up

I just replaced the bulbs in mine after work yesterday. That's kindof a pain in the ***. GM certainly didn't make 'em easy to get to.

Dude,.seriously,...........I hated changing that damn bulb! Im not a small guy either and my arms don't enjoy tight spaces. I have something else that does but not my arms! Just be thankfull that u have'nt had issues with your power lamp actuator yet. I have a nice 3 inch scar from that on my right forearm.

I was actually unlucky enough to get a ticket ($125 fine) in my 01 gt , like 3 years ago.. But yes i love the way it looks . but i dont do it now, only when pix are being taken.. i dont want another ticket lol . sacramento blows

I always have mine on...they look good on the black TA and I have white DRLs (kind of a lucky accident), so it looks even better
