as you can see, they are still very bright. And I am using paint AND yellow covered bulb so i cant imagine anything dimmer. it is still very nice and noticable without being blinding. projectors dont glare like reflectors cause of the sharp cutoff. here are shots of just the fogs. youre not gonna get much outta standard fogs for visibility anyway unless you get some real expensive ones that are made to actually be used as fog lights by providing a wide beam that lights up sides and foreground for snow and foggy driving.
