Foggies are waheever coour yellow or white depending on national or stae legislation. Foggies are about the beam dispersion characteristics not the colour - ie a narrow horizontal band of light with very limited range as opposed to a narrow longer range beam of light as per driving light. The lenses/reflectors provide the difference and not the colour.Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapid Tornado Member 20 Member For: 18y 8m 12d Posted 11/08/06 09:06 AM Share Posted 11/08/06 09:06 AM I use them at night and always will. I've been at plenty of rbt's and never asked to turn them off. I think its ridiculous that these cars come out with these lights as standard and the only time we allowed to use them is in extreme weather conditions.As far as I'm concerned anything that makes my car more visible to other drivers especially at night I'll use.

We had a civil conversation, he checked the wattage of the globes and let me on my way with an informal warning.Now I only use 'em down side streets as the street lighting is so crap.Simon....
