That's a good point. I have fog lights and a nice set of Hellas on my 83
Vanagon. In situations with no fog at all, on badly rutted roads at night,
I find that having both the fog lights and the Hellas on gives a pretty
decent combination for visibility when it matters. I drive in fog seldom
enough that I may look for clear lenses for what are now my Cibié fogs.
It's just nice to have the low-down scattered light.
