I thought the fog lights stayed on when you put your main beam on.

i thought he was implying that fogs would come on at the same time as mainbeam ie (flash mainbeam and fogs flash as well)

I used to do it dribing on the back road in Wiltshire as it gave good peripheral lighting which was handy to spot and avoid those pesty deer!

My mate's BMW hit one and caused over 4k of damage!

Not easy to do on the Omega without adding a relay into the setup.

Technically you're not allowed to have the deer if you hit it !
The person behind you is allowed to recover the deer.

Weird but true  ;D

Please remember that driving with fog lights on is illegal UNLESS visibility is below 100 metres...

Just thought it was worth a mention ......  :)

.... misuse of fog lights (front or rear) is a ticket.....

Use only during fog or falling snow or similar where visibility is reduced to less than 100 metres.

If you want to use them as 'look at me' lights, I'm sure your financial contribution to the legal coffers would be appreciated.... ;)
