Title: ex plod foglights...
Post by: ngrainqey on 09 January 2009, 19:59:19
do plod cars even have fog lights?
the light illuminates on the switch but nothing lighting up and couldnt see the foglights from outside the car as i was pitch black without a torch so got glared by the lights at the same time lol!

thanks

Ours do, but they're connected to the flasher unit for when the blues and twos go on. If there's a switch there you should have them. Though the wiring may have been butchered when bits were removed

Yes they'll have them but the wiring may have been interrupted as most forces have them set to flash :y :y :y

Having them isn't illegal, using them is 8-)

Have the HIDs on mine and tbh the front fogs are about as much use as a fart in a lift.

If you've got em too there's no real advantage in using them imho :y


Now if the fogs were HID too, that'd be a different story

Didn't think you could use the bulbs in a non-projector lense :question

i think you can as they actually give off less heat than the halogen bulbs.
-thats from memory but im pretty sure
