D3 Fog Lights light up curvy road edges and lets you see more with glaring oncoming traffic
The law in Germany restricts the use of fog lights to foggy and rainy conditions only, but I find this regulation to be nonsense. Properly aimed fog lights manufactured to strict ECE specifications do not cause glare, and their use in non-foggy conditions is common practice outside of Germany. I strongly believe that fog lights enhance safety by illuminating the edges of the road and aiding in visibility during oncoming headlight glare - a common issue with improperly aimed headlights. My co-pilot wife captured shots of my van equipped with D3 fog lights, clearly demonstrating their superior illumination compared to the already upgraded standard headlights.
As I am using the yellow lenses on the D3 fog lights, you can clearly see the beam they throw, in comparison to the already heavily upgraded standard headlights of my van.
It is worth noting that car and bike manufacturers often charge exorbitant prices for upgraded LED headlights with adaptive curve light features that do no more than what a set of D3 fog lights can achieve at a fraction of the cost.
I firmly believe that fog lights enhance safety by illuminating the sides of the road and providing a better view of the road ahead, especially when oncoming headlights cause glare. I have experienced being blinded by improperly aimed halogen headlights numerous times, and it's concerning to think that the other driver likely has poor visibility as well, despite their glaring lights.
