- Mercedes Benz have fog lamps right next to the head lamps, but
- they're amber so it doesn't look like someone's high-beaming
- everyone in sight. I have to admit that MkII Integras' front
- lights look good during the day--when the lights are off. They
- look weird at night if the fog lamps are turned on. I suppose if
- the fog lamps were pointed down a little more, they wouldn't
- distract the car's driver nor other drivers on the road. I know
- friends who have the MkII Integras, and they also have this
- common problem of others on the road who think their foglamps are
- highbeams.
