Anybody else? Parking & fogs on.

Every time I drive mine I put on my parking lights w/fogs! I have done that since I owned a 90 LX Coupe. I just love Mustangs with those lights on. On my 95, had my fogs hard-wired to come on. Parking lights were too dim to show up. I was wondering if any of you do this. I don't see many '10+ drive past. Haven't seen any of the '05-'09's. Thanks!!

at dusk or in any kind of weather I do exactly this and do on every vehicle I have ever owned with fogs (until its too dark and then the headlights must come on).

I run the roush fog lights on my car and rarley run my factory fogs any more (they still work, I have a toggle switch, But I like the lower fog location alot more)

I just leave mine in auto with the fogs on. With the Hoen fog light bulbs, it looks pretty mean at night.

I occasionally drive with parking and fogs only at dusk. I like the look, but don't do it all the time.

I'll put mine on if it's raining during the day or when it's not quite dark enough for full HIDs yet.

I've thought about just leaving the Fogs (replaced with the Hoen bulbs) on with the HIDs, but I'm worried I'd be blinding other people. It would probably look awesome though.

I have a 2009 C/S, no HID's and love the "get the hell out of my way look ". At night though I run the daytime running lights and the fogs to reduce the brightness. In Ontario the daytime running lights are on the outside lenses. would like to make the fogs the DRLs. It's all about cool. lol

I drive with the fogs on during the day and auto with fogs off at night, unless it's foggy out.

Sometimes. Usually just after sunrise and just before sunset.

I'm curious to the auto headlight logic. I leave mine in auto with fogs on, and it seems like the lights are on sometimes when my gauges aren't. Also, I'm wondering if the wipers trigger the lights at all?

The dash uses a light sensor to decide if the dash goes into night mode

Yes, the auto headlight option includes activation of headlights with the wipers.

Yes the wipers will trigger the headlights, also, they stay on for about 30-60 sec after the wipers are off.

Stinger1982 - Your car looks drop dead gorgeous. Quick question, do you have a pic of the roush toggle switch for the fog selection? can you run both?

I usually run the fogs/parking lights as "manual Daytime Running Lights" when I think to turn them on.

In the automatic position with the fogs on, the fogs will come on only at night or when the automatic sensor thinks it is dark enough to need the lights, right? That sort of defeats the DRL intent, since they will not come on during the day.
