Do fogs function as cornering lights?

[Janster]

Ram's do it as well. It's not an electrical issue. It actually works rather nicely.

Wow...Ok....
My husbands BMW's do something similar - the headlights actually turn in the direction of the turn, but I'd expect that 'fancy' stuff in a car that costs a shit-ton.

Subaru's do this too on all Touring trims, and was optional for the Limited trims.

They do that but yet the BMW factory still can't manage to install turn signals....

BTW, the first car made in the USDM with a directional headlight was the Tucker 48, specifically the one in the center.

No idea, never seen one of them in my e46. What does it do?

Blinker doesn’t come on by itself…but the car will change lanes for you .

My VW CC had the tracking headlights. Absolutely LoVED them for driving up in the hills where I live.

There are a few switch panels that have trigger functions now but not sure how you’d activate them just through our steering system. Possibly through the turn signal itself you could work a ditch type light to do it but probably not for over the curvy road travel.

Headlights that follow the steering have been a thing since at least 1948.

Maybe it's already been stated, but if your fog lights are already on and you use your turn signal, aren't they effectively being used as cornering lamps (if your high beams are off, of course)?

I have the halogen fogs and I wonder why they are even there. They literally do nothing. They are so dim.
Any good bright replacements for a stock front bumper?

I swapped my halogen fogs for the oem led fogs and it made a huge improvement.

Every time I see the title of this thread I think someone is asking if dogs function as cornering lights.

That is all.

As you were.

I sold my gladiator a few weeks back, but my new Truck has Matrix Headlights and let me tell you, it is AMAZING.

Jeep could make it happen if they put a little more $ into the headlight housings. They already have the cameras for it.

Same here I’m glad it’s not just me

I have driven cars with actual turn signal activated cornering lights, that work pretty well, like much better than none. I have noticed the fogs on my Gladiator do help when turning off the road into a driveway or intersection, that when totally dark with no street lights absolutely do help to illuminate the curb and fog lines and about half the width of the road, but by that time the headlights fill in. The fog lights work better than nothing.
