Fog light covers on or off? Reply #2 – May 26, 2009, 04:59:19 AM I preferred the look of having the covers on, but I was always expecting somebody to steal them. Quote Selected

Fog light covers on or off? Reply #4 – May 26, 2009, 09:52:43 AM So far, more "on" folks than I thought.Why do you leave the covers on, to protect the lenses? Or to show off that you still have the covers :D?I can't decide. It's a double-edge sword. If I leave em on, as cougarcragar said, somebody could steal them (or they might blow off). If I leave them off, a stone or something could break the lense. But I would like the convenience of being able to turn them on without getting out and taking the covers off...Still undecided :hick:CoogarXR Quote Selected

Fog light covers on or off? Reply #8 – May 26, 2009, 10:50:06 AM Sal's got it right. Investing in a spare set of Marchal fog lights (or even just the glass lenses) seems to be significantly cheaper than finding good covers. Of course, there are plenty of semi-ratty covers out there...if I were using Marchals again, those are the covers I'd use for regular driving. And yes, I'd leave them on. :)Another solution: several companies make thick, clear static cling overlays for headlights, fog lights, etc. that are cut-to-fit. Best of both worlds there. Leave the Marchal covers off, drive with confidence, don't have to remove any covers to use the lights.If they work as advertised... Quote Selected

Fog light covers on or off? Reply #11 – May 28, 2009, 01:26:57 PM I leave them off. I drive my car daily, including at night. The fog lights are on whenever the headlights are on. My headlights and fogs are both wired through relays so I've got tons of illumination at night! Quote Selected
