#1: Need Some Diped lights Author: DJKaySee, Location: UK, England,NottinghamPosted: Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:58 pm ---- Alright all.
So my car has no front fog lights, first off what fog lights do I need to fit onto this body kit
secondly is it possible to use them as your dipped beam instead of fogs ( If I'm correct its just a matter of connecting them to your dipped beams ?.
I personally really like the looks of 4 front lights.

The beam pattern is wrong. If you drive with them on then you are likely to get pulled as they should only be on when visibility is reduced.
You could install driving lamps instead, but these should only be able to come on with main beam.

I wasn't on about them being fogs wanted them as driving lights (sorry if it came across wrong) by main beam you mean full beam correct? I don't want them as full beam.
Also another idea is having them as DRL that would be better as if im correct the DRL dont turn off when you use dipped or main beams...

I wouldn't do it in my opinion,save yourself time and effort and replace the angels if you want better light output to drive in the dark.
Also main beam is the beam you be using to drive regularly,full beam is full beam of course.

Main beam is indicated by the blue "main beam headlamps indicator light" on the dashboard when the lights are turned on. Dipped beam are your normal driving lights.
I thought this was one of the topics that was covered in the driving test.

dit depends on the car, the new mercs the drls turn off, or go to a lower level when the dipprd beam is on. cars like the honda civic stay at full brightness.
if your looking for a drl set, look at the new volvo (s40 i think) that has a circular drl, with 4 LED's.
the other option, is to fit a side light bulb (5w) to the unit that way it would have some illumination, but not be classed as on (similar to the mitsi FTO, with its duel side/fog lense)

^^^ This is correct.
Thanks for clearing up the legality of it all. Although I do like the look of 4 lights looks like it wont be happening.
(Does this even include the fact of the fogs cant be replaced with DRL ?)
I am however still looking for some fog lights to fit onto the car as I not only don't have any, but it looks a lot better even with them in (even if there not on).
Cheers guys
