'TURN YOUR FOGLIGHTS OFF' banner ;-)

[ceebmoj]

I must get one of theas

[Mad Dave]

Just seen it appear on the forum index page - very good!

I think might be a good idea, same as the banner, to stick in the rear window - then the pillocks might get the message....

[pies]

can you be abit more precise as i cant find a forum index....ta

[Don]

Don't get me started...

[All Terrain]

quiet roads en route to 6th form... 12 cars with fogs!!! Most were sidelights and fogs.

[Mad Dave]

Forum Index = www.pistonheads.com/gassing - ie, the main gassing station page

it was an image with a Saxo on the left with fogs on and on the right it had DICK! written in the style of the THINK! logo

underneath it had 'Turn them off you prat!'

Pure class ad...

Hate to burst your bubble guys but take a look at page eleven of this (with regards DRL):

DRLs are one thing - 110 watts of nonsense is another.

[jinx]

Agree with you Ted, but it may give these photonically enhanced vehicle drivers justification....

[CarZee]

Fog lights are not DRLs... Side Lights are DRLs.

Volvos don't come out of the factory with their fog lights permanently wired on.

There's no question about it. People should not be driving about with fog lamps unnecessarily illuminated.

Just seen two cars with fog lights on. One was a BMW, some drivers will do nothing to help the cause

[anarchystorm]

I agree about 'NO FOG LIGHTS ON IN THE DAYTIME'. No one should get away with it. I drive a Pug Gti and my Fogs/driving lights only come on with my full beams. I am getting them rewired as I hate having my full beams on in the foggy weather as it reflects back into my face. I am not one to drive with them in the daytime though - only idiots do that.

You'll find that the law states that your fogs MUST switch OFF when you go to high beam and if you've front fogs they may only be wired with the rear fogs so that they operate together! Also must NOT work when sidelights are only used! Thats EU LAW! Not wired that way and it's a MOT (or local equiv) fail!!!

anarchystorm - this sounds like you have driving lights fitted, NOT fogs. The driving lights have a different beam pattern from fogs, and hence would be pretty useless if used as fogs.

I used to have a 309XSi with all the factory fitted extra lights (2 fog & 2 driving lights) and I seem to remember it was possible to switch off the driving lights if they weren't required.

[anarchystorm]

Yep! totyally correct, driving lights they are. Will it still be legal to get them on a seperate swich so I can use them without my fullbeam?

[M@H]

Same with the 914.. it had driving lights not fog lights and they came on with main beam.. however there was a switch on the dash to turn them off too..

do you get a Foglight warning light on your dashboard or just the blue mainbeam ?

Matt.

[Mad Dave]

Ive always wondered why the rear fogs on my Golf switch off when i put full beam on - i always thought there was an electrical gremlin somewhere! Interestingly tho, my mates E30 BMW 320i will happily display all 4 full beam lights AND his front fogs, all at the same time - will he fail his next MOT?
