to be honest.. if they can't see your tail-light, the fog light won't be much better....

the fog lamp is significantly brighter, and it being low to the ground, sometimes you get more visibility than up high.

IMO to have it blink or come on when breaking is kind of a waste/ricy. Better off to just wire it up with the simple on-off. Being a Canadian model I have the switch on the turn signal stock so it was easy. Basically just upgraded my OEM fog to one with LEDs

It was an easy mod and doesn't look rice-y if you do it the way it was intended: LunaZ's 370Z Journal

It's as bright or maybe even 50% brighter than a brake light. Comparing it to regular tail lights is inaccurate.
I've followed my own car and I can say it's very visible in inclement weather.

it's actually great in real fog conditions.

i have it on mine and used it during really bad fog and downpour. but mine do not blink. just a solid red light.

problem with blinking lights is that i tend to loose the sense of distance. that's one of the main reasons why they are so annoying. i have to work harder to determine my distance.

Front offset set to +30. Hopefully that's the last change.

kenchan · 12-18-2013, 03:55 PM

Don't know. I told them what I wanted as far as looks and this is what they suggested.

they like to think in 5mm increments only i see. perhaps that is their accuracy level.

25mm +/- 5mm
