My truck had recessed fog lights. I covered them with clear covers, but there was no detectable change in mileage.

I had another reason for covering them. The first time I really needed them, in a heavy snowstorm, they did not work because the recessed openings had filled with snow. I had hopes that smooth covers would work better in heavy snow. Unfortunately, the first heavy snow with the new covers was a heavy wet snow that stuck to everything, so the fog light were still useless.

That's why my conveyor belt air dam does not have fog lights. Edit: I see that I need a new profile photo with the new air dam.
