#2: Re: fog/sidelights Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:33 am ---- Yes. Plus it's illegal to drive with them on if not in foggy conditions.
#3: Re: fog/sidelights Author: tiago90, Location: Thetford, UKPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 8:34 am ---- Thank you

#5: Re: fog/sidelights Author: Aar_Im_A_Pirate, Location: Northern IrelandPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:57 am ---- Also, why would you wire them up to your side lights? It's not much hassle to twist the switch for the sidelights then twist the wee switch for the fogs.

#8: Re: fog/sidelights Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:02 am ---- Get some daylight running lights if it the look you are going for.

i though is 3 pts+ fixed penalty?
Nah just a fixed penalty, same as not wearing a seat belt or dodgy number plate
#11: Re: fog/sidelights Author: vintageoriginal, Location: London, UKPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:35 am ---- What about putting sidelights in your foglights? I know someone on here has done this.
#12: Re: fog/sidelights Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:50 am ---- All depends on the markings on the lights, I believe 206 fog lights are marked for fog use using some code.
#13: Re: fog/sidelights Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:56 am ---- You could put SMD H1s in your fog lights and wire them to the side lights. People are correst in saying it is a fied penalty for driving with them on, but that is if they are auxillary lights, if they come on with the same switch as the side lights, they are no longer classed as auxilary lights. As SMD aren't as bright you could use them as running lights and not need to alter the wiring as they only draw a small current. There is no MOT requirement for front fog lights as they are not covered by the vehicle lighting regulations, so in theory they don't need to work. I do agree that cars driving roind with their fogs on look pretty daft. I would go for som e of the Prism LED running lights and put them inside the headlamp units if that's the look you're after. You could drill a hole on the fog light and fit a push type 501 connector. IMO this would give a much nicer effect.

#15: Re: fog/sidelights Author: vintageoriginal, Location: London, UKPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:13 pm ---- Any chance of a piccy langan?
#16: Re: fog/sidelights Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:21 pm ---- I'm sure someone on here wired them into the main beam, that way that won't p**s anyone off as you would turn the main beam off obviously if anyone was coming towards you. I thought that was pretty nifty.
#17: Re: fog/sidelights Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:11 pm ---- Would a 501 bulb in fogs be noticeable? If i fitted them in the bottom of the fog.

Mine are wired in to the main beam with a relay.
They work from the orginal factory switch
OR
They also come on when the main beam is operated.
i did the same to my old car too
they also flashed when i flashed etc
#25: Re: fog/sidelights Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:44 pm ---- The 406 I had was the simplest one to mod as the main beam & front fog relays where next to each other in the fuse box
