I am about to set off on a road trip and will be traveling in some foggy
areas.

I have a set of fog lights on my Westy, the German ones that fit next to
the turn signals. I am a bit confused on how to use them. Do I use them
instead of, or in addition to, the low beam headlights? Are fog lights good
for heavy rain, too?

I want to drive safely, but don't want to blind or annoy oncoming traffic,
as I am already annoying those in back of me with my slow pace.

Also, is there any difference between a clear (white) lens and a blue lens?

Final question: does anyone know why California prohibits you from just
having your parking lights on while driving, like at dusk? Where I came
from (Hawaii) this was standard practice during the dawn/dusk hours.


Thanks!
