Yes budWhat are you referring to as "side lights"
Sorry, I forgot the question mark.
What are you referring to as "side lights"?
That sound a plan, I’m just after side lights and main beam to work together at the moment as they are crap lol
Before anyone jumps on and says it's illegal to use fog lights when it's not foggy, with high beam, they will turn off with dipped beam, so it would be just like having a pair of spot lights.
Ah ok, I was thinking my drl on with my main beamI think the OP wants his dipped beam to stay on with his main beam.
If that’s the case @J88arv then you risk burning the unit out, which is why they haven’t been set up that way.
It would still be illegal though!
How so? How is it any different to say the 205GTI?
You can fit auxiliary driving lights pretty much anywhere, providing they extinguish when high/main beam is turned off. How many lorries to you see with 6 spot lights on the roof? They get tested every 6 weeks. The fact that they have a 'fog' beam pattern instead of a spot/driving one makes no odds.
That's in your opinion. Unfortunately that doesn't determine the law.But they won't dazzle anyone if they are only illuminated with high beam.
I'm sure I remember seeing a setting in VCDS to allow that.. It seems rear lights can't be retro-tweaked to come on with the ignition, as it upsets the canbus.
Wish they could get that message through to the gonks on the motorway who switch their front and rear fog lights on when it starts to rain, usually without their headlightsThat's in your opinion. Unfortunately that doesn't determine the law.
From Police website:
You must not use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced (see Rule 226 of the Highway Code) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.
You must use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves.
I agree. it actually states they should not be used in the rain.Wish they could get that message through to the gonks on the motorway who switch their front and rear fog lights on when it starts to rain, usually without their headlights
