Turning lights - whats the point???
Discussion
Sorry if this thread is being repeated but really, whats the point of 'turning lights'???
I mean the ones when you indicate one front foglight comes on. Seriously, I can't see this being of any use whatsoever! It makes people who are not foglight w
kers look like half a foglight wker!
Can anyone explain if there is any benefit to having these? To Me, they look utterly ridiculous!! I have been driving for 21 years without them and have never crashed into the kerb whilst turning a corner because I couldnt see it.
fking ridiculous idea!! Whatever next??

king ridiculous idea!! Whatever next??Agree entirely. I keep thinking one of their w*nker lights is out. I had an 80s Corvette which had white lights in the side indicator that came on when indicating. So effective were they that I had no idea they came on until I was checking the indicators one day and thought "What the hey...?"

They have these on the 2010+ Range Rover Sport's, IMHO I think they work very well when turning at T juctions where we live (dark country lanes). off_again said:
The turny lights though are very good. Even ones that only turn by a small number of degrees make a massive difference on dark narrow roads.
Just saying....
Yup, they work pretty well IMO, they might look odd from the outside but they're not there for other people to gawp at.Just saying....
I hate them.
My '08 Vectra had the best turning lights, incorporated with the AFL. It didnt turn on the wker lights, instead it had a low brightness sidelight, which was pointed at an angle actually into the kerb. You noticed it as you were driving but someone else on the road wouldnt notice it. Because it wasn't a wker light, it was pointing where it should be (the kerb) rather than in another drivers eyeball.
Easily the best headlights i've ever had in a car. On a vectra...

Good grief, is it time of the month?
Indeed... The bi-weekly rant about something that isn't really something that matters. I don't know why some people let such trivial things get that much on their nerves.
