Driving with "brights" lights on in front of or behind other vehicles is illegal in most all states; not to mention that it's rude, crude, and socially unacceptable. BLINDING other drivers is not cool, they may just may hit YOU and your bright lights. Publishing articles on how to wire your truck to operate the fog lights in conjunction with your regular driving/or "bright lights" is probably illegal but certainly uncool. If you NEED THAT much light you're driving too fast. IMHO.
Sorry if this comes off in a scolding way, that wasn't what I intended. I live in the USA, in Washington State. We got deer, Elk, bear, all kinds of critters and they cross the road when THEY want to. Coupled with people following too close these days I get nervous, especially on my Motor cycle. One nigh I exited the freeway there was a vehicle under the overpass (of the freeway) on the on-coming side of the road (on my extream left) the shoulder. I looked left, right and left again and saw the guys head lights, they were so bright they blocked or blinded my vision so I missed the car behind the glare, I almost got hit, I pulled up to the parked vehicle and the guy rolls his window down and I mentioned that his lights were pretty bright, maybe too bright as I just about got killed by the vehicle his lights blinded me to. His response?: "Well, they're on low beam" Well they weren't the standard lights, they were those lights with the blue cast to them, they were so bright it hurt my eyes. I'm thankful they were on "low beam"
