Chooka THE Member Donating Members 1,210 Member For: 19y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/12/05 01:57 AM Share Posted 06/12/05 01:57 AM (edited) I've done the passenger side foggy twice in just over two years. Now I have Territory Fog Light covers. If you turned them off during sunny days you wouldn't have that problem! But worse than those people with the front fogs on all the time, are the idiots that are too ignorant to know that the rears also come on at the same time in certain european cars, BMW etc. It isn't illegal to have the fronts on but it is illegal to have rears on (Vic).that's funny cause in NSW it's illegal to have your foggys on if its not foggy. As for the rear, your not talking about those single over lumient red lenses at the back that drive you crazy in clear whether are you? (Like on Hyundai Exels)Its the same in Vic mate, No Fog = no fog lights or you get finedChooka Edited 06/12/05 02:00 AM by Chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was definately a stone!!! You can see where it first hit the front bar about 4 cm fron the light edge, and has then reflected off and made a nice hole in the light and shattered the rest. Must have been a fluke cos its about my first stone chip!!! Car has done ~11000 kms. About 7 of them on gravel!!! I'll be taking cro's advice......thanks champ. I never have mine on during the day so that could not contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess (thinking on this though) that the plasticised coating may assist......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
