Fog Lights
Fog lights help you drive under poor visibility conditions
For safe and proper driving the road ahead has to be clearly visible to the driver. In daytime if there is bright sunshine no artificial aid is required. If it is night, overcast, or otherwise dark the use of headlights is necessary. But if the weather deteriorates and it becomes foggy or misty the headlights are of little help. Fog lights have been specifically developed for use under such conditions.
Fog lights are specially designed bright lights that enable the driver to see ahead for a sufficiently long distance, even if it is foggy or misty. These lights are placed just below the car’s headlights. Their beam is aimed at a lower level than the low beam headlights. These lights illuminate the road that the car will pass over imminently, without causing any hindrance to the oncoming vehicles. The driver of the car can also see clearly just about far enough to take the car forward at a slow pace. There are also high level fog lights but these have to be used along with specially designed lenses, so that their beam is below the eye level of oncoming drivers.
Having fog lights does not mean you can drive as if the visibility was very good. This is because fog lights only illuminate the road immediately ahead of your vehicle. They do not clearly illuminate the road as it would be if the visibility was good. They only illuminate the road just ahead of your car because even with fog lights it can be tough to penetrate a thick fog. Therefore the fog lights are mounted in such a manner that at least some road immediately ahead of the car is visible and the driver can proceed forward at a slow pace.
Fog lights are usually yellow or purple in color. Red colored light is least scattered over a long distance and hence it would be ideal, but it is not in use because it is used to indicate a stop signal. Its use may create unnecessary confusion.
Under adverse weather conditions fog lights provide better safety. You can also use them to add style to your car along with other car aftermarket products. You can go to www.ilovebodykits.com know more about the latest fog lights.

Would you recommend I get OEM fog lights or aftermarket ones from pep boys?
I want to get fog lights for my 2004 civic, what is brighter, oem lights or the ones that pep boys has for sale?
Are you talking about the whole fog light housing/system, or just the bulb inside? Most use "9006" size bulbs and OEM from Acura are just going to be either Phillips or Sylvania bulbs, no better or worse that what you would find at PepBoys.
If you mean the actual fog light system, then nothing beats OEM for connection and fit into the vehicle. PepBoy fogs, you need to wire the thing into the vehicle, then find a place to house the switch. OEM, it's all hooked to the wiring of the vehicle so that you turn on and off with the light stalk.
