Congratulations!!!!!  I hope that there are at least 2 cars on the road with
fog lights that are used for fog rather than just to blind oncoming cars.
I Pennsylvania 99% of the cars with fog lights use them with the headlights
in any kind of weather and never get them focused so they don't blind others.
