Guest newl Guests Posted 06/08/06 11:57 PM Share Posted 06/08/06 11:57 PM So does that mean that parking lamps (or turn indicators) mounted below the headlights are fog lamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's right. "Daytime Running Lights"? The sort that switch on when a vehicle is indicating? There are several makes and models of cars that have Daytime Running Lights installed alongside Fog Lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when comming over a crest.I don't get why people try justify the use of foglights by saying they improve their visibility to others when the main lights do a much better job, and aren't illegal.

I do remember seeing one yesterday though. Hrmm..it may have been a VW Golf or Jetta but again, I'm not 100% certain.BTW, I'm not having a go, just saw the opportunity to be silly and ask.

As stated earlier on in this thread though, they illuminate out to the side Ie the fog lines during fog. This ability in non foggy conditions, illuminates the side of the road where dogs, pedestrians, dark clothed individuals who see fit to run at night, and so on. In a dimly lit suburban street. Fog lights are brilliant in giving the driver that much better situational awareness.I have driven with them on anight for as long as I can remeber, everytime I read a thread like this then I turn them off, not wanting to be a law breaker and end up turning them on again as they reaaly alow more vision to the sides of the road. I rekon that they would also light up grazing roos at night as well.My 2cScotty Edited 07/08/06 12:12 AM by Kimberley Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
