It will be less useful in fog conditions, but it will bother other drivers less on clear days.
you do wat you want but that fog lamp is a frikken fog lamp and suppose to be bright for a reason. lol i would for using that as an accessory light.

Ok, I don't understand your logic, but if that's your opinion, I respect it.

WOW This got out of hand fast LOL.

<-- OP here
-------------------------------------------
I do appreciate people trying to keep on task here however :-)

So we've got:
- Lower wattage bulb
- Tint the plastic itself

I think a different bulb would be key for me.

On a side note... this is run off the license plate voltage so it's on whenever the head lights are on. I'm just a bit OCD and like all my lights to be equal "bright-ness".

it is illegal though, in a whole wide range of circumstances, specifically the one he is using it in. He asked for help fixing it, not people to tell him it is legal.

You get in trouble if you don't follow the rules. You won't if you don't. Personal attacks are against the rules, disagreeing is not.
