I think it’s to let other drivers know that they could afford the $400 or whatever to check the “fog light” option when they bought the car. I think they’re practically standard equipment on Grand Am’s, and seem to have no off switch. The cool thing people want to do around here is drive through town with just fog lights and park lights, no headlights.
