Post by: omega3000 on 09 February 2013, 12:13:45
What do i need to fit some aftermarket fog lights on pug , found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/driving-lights-fog-lights-complete-wiring-kit-easy-fit-/190744104784?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c693c0f50 but for whats in the kit seems a bit expensive  :-\ Where could i get these parts cheaper ?

It would be easier and nicer looking to source a bumper from a breaker with the front fogs fitted,easy enough to wire up :y

Do you need them?

Can't remember last time I used mine, except to remind idiots that they don't need front fogs on  :-\

used mine a handful of times over the years, rears get used a fair bit, but only to annoy those behind me with front fogs on in clear weather  ::)

Will take a look at scrappy  :)

Agree that front fogs when fitted will only be used when its thick fog , i do find them helpful at those times especially on the crap roads around here  ;)

Front FOG lights should never be a problem to oncoming motorists in any weather, unlike people who do not understand their rear fog lights..... ::) ::)  I do find an increasing problem with more modern front lighting that is very bright, even in dip form and a real pain when now aligned correctly..... >:(

Sadly, they are uncontrolled lights, thus should only be used in, errr, FOG! 

The name kinda gives it away.

Idiots who drive around with them on in clear conditions should have their driving licences ripped up.

Fog lights exist so other drivers can spot morons, and give a wide berth.

I am sure failed headlights have another meaning though...? :-\
