Let's start a competition.

The car with the tackiest driving lights, a few favourites of mine:

1. Porsche Panamera - they are like 4 dots enclosed in a circle.

2. Range Rover/ Land Rover - Halarious!!

3. Jaguar XF - WTF! It's like 2 big bananas!

Anything worse????

The all suck.

And most are way to bright at night.

What annoys me is the stupid foglight coming on when indicating.

Those are "cornering lights" if they're on a VAG car. They come on when the headlights are on, the car is doing 25mph or under and the steering wheel is turned. To be fair, they're quite handy on a dark country road or when trying to park the car in a garage at a tight angle.

I find them annoying too. People I know who have them also find them annoying, as they get fed up of people telling them one of their bulbs is out. If my car had them they would be disconnected.

I don't have them on my Leon, but my dad does on his Ibiza. He seems to like them. But there's a lot of people on SeatCupra.net who don't and a few who've even been pulled by the police for having their fog lights on when they're not. Don't the new Fabias have DRLs in their foglights? A friend of mine briefly had a new vRS this year and said he had the foglights on every time he drove the car, but I only saw the car once in the 6 months he had it, so can't be sure.

Does this only apply in Scotland as there are some shockers down here.

Yep they do. In fact, seems all of the latest Skoda's have their DRL's in the fog light position.

I'm a fan of DRL's (My Golf has them), but putting where the fog lights are is utterly stupid.

Is there any law which states what DRL's should be?
For instance, I assume both left and right lights don't need to be the same as many DRL's are mirror images of each other?

I am just waondering how long it will be before Chav in his Corsa will have CH in LEDSs on one lens and AV in LEDS on the other?

One of the big Mercs (S class?) Has DRLs in the headlamp unit, and in the fog light area. Why two lots?

Issue I have and DS3 drivers are regular culprits is the drivers don't realise that the rear lights aren't on so they think they are ok because they have twinkly lights at the front but nothing at the rear!!
