When I hit a stretch of road that had no fog, no street/ road lights and no cars coming the other way I popped on the front fog lights again and the illumination was a lot better than just the dismal headlights ( though of course much less than with full beam).
So it started me wondering if it is a good or bad idea to use the front foglights when more headlight illumination is required on unlit roads or will the extra fog lights dazzle oncoming drivers just like when leaving full beam on.
I know that if I gave it a try and it was causing a problem to oncoming drivers that a number would start to flash me letting me know that the extra fog lights were causing a problem but I obviously don't wish to find out in such an inconsiderate way.
So my question is ....would using front foglights (which are not as powerful as main beam) cause a problem to oncoming drivers in other peoples opinion or experience?

If your xenons aren't good enough, then perhaps they aren't aligned correctly
If you have self levelling, then perhaps the arms have become dislodged, btw, my fogs are yellow, perfect for fog
