if you put the parking lights on (even my 86 IROC did it), you should be able to turn on your fogs
and I guess I'll just hafta be dumb for driving with mine all the time....guess that's why it's my car

DRL's can be seen at all hours. running fogs during the daytime is just a waste of current and bulb life. rain, overcast and dusk is one thing. anyone that drives with them on on a sunny day in august is a little paranoid though. but again, whatever helps you sleep at night.

And I sleep great at night because I don't spend my time telling strangers on the internet whether I think what they do is dumb or not.
