    I voted "Night and During bad weather" but since the VX's interior is so dark, I often put my parking lights on by late afternoon...

    I converted mine to HID's along with the Hella Micro DE that replaced the 'fog' light. I run the hella's when ever the engine is running, so I guess the answer is, day and night, but not the headlights unless weather is bad, then both and no, I don't get flashed cause I have them aimed correctly.

    Of special note-- vehicles that are painted shades of Silver; Gray; Beige; Brown, Forest Green are very difficult to see as they often blend in with their surroundings and/or blend in with concrete/asphalt. Owner's with these colored cars should always have their headlights on.

    I always run my headlights both day-n-night. During the daytime-- I run my headlights on "high-beam" (poor man's Daytime Running Lights). During the nighttime-- with oncoming traffic, I run my headlights on normal "low-beam" (of course).

    same for me...i converted my fogs to piaa driving lights and those are on any time my motor is on...and the headlights only come when i can no longer see the sun because they are HID.

    If you are running high performance halogene like us, they cost $40 a pair and only last a year, so only in the dark.

    I always have lights on when I'm driving. Most of the time its just the 'driving' lights. And since I switched the driving lights to LEDs, they really have a 'pop' to them and its hard to miss it.
