Yes, but HOW BRIGHT are these factory fog lights? As far as I'm concerned,
I see a lot of Grand Cherokees running around in this area with their fog
lights on. They don't blind me one bit (I also drive a car). Most factory
fog lights are either 35W or 55W - and if they are aimed properly - in my
findings - they will not blind oncoming traffic.

In fact I have been driving with fog lights (or however you wish to call
them - factory stuff isn't that impressive) for over 3 years now without
any problems. I have been flashed 3 or 4 times over the years and I believe
2 or 3 of those instances I had my high beams on.

YMMV,
