Fog lights
Do the little round fog lights actually do anything ? The ones I'm talking about are the tiny little ones inside the air dam on lower front. I dont know if they are all like that but the 04 I'm looking at has these.
Any function other than looks ?

I wouldn't want to drive around with just the fogs on for lighting, but you can notice them from inside the car when they are on.

Yes, I think when that happens it attracts low flying moths into the radiator cavity to prevent windshield splats.

fog lights
I saw a post saying to replace the 893 halogen 37 watt bulbs with a 885 halogen 50 watts. Gives about 25% more light and fits exactly where the original bulb went.

I did this and re-aimed them, I have been using for 3 years with low beams (it improves side vision. I also installed Sylvania Silver Star headlight bulbs along with high power backup lights. C5s come with BAD lighting !
