HID Low beam + yellow fog bulbs = fashion
Which state are you in Coladuna? In Victoria the cops can be anal about it. I have friends who have received an infringement notice - no first warning - straight to the fine. I think it was $100 or thereabouts.Quote:

Much cleaner with same temp lights and fogs.
Firsly, it depends on the police. I had a friend with the exact same fogs as I had on my old car, which had parkers on the fogs as well which we both changed to blue bulbs to match our headlights. I never was pulled over as those parkers are always on when the headlights are in parker mode or lowbeam/high beam. He was pulled over several times and warned.
Police will pull you over for many reaons, one of them not being very logical :) I think they'll pick on the person due to the type of car and the type of person inside the car as well, i think number plate style and whether you are a P plater also plays a factor.
In the end it's not predictable if you will or will not be pulled over.
You also have to keep in mind that sometimes, what appears to be a fog light on some cars might not be classified as a fog light. They are more a less driving lights - yes they might look like fogs but they aren't as bright and are only as bright as normal headlights and that's a whole another story all together.
Fogs have both their uses and will vary depending on the person. I loved my foglights on my old car, it even had stock twin fogs on the rear to warn ppl to back off for tailgating me - always worked like a charm (something i envy in the Euro models in Europe and the fact they also have the heated side mirrors which i miss).
I saw fog lights as a cosmetic tool in my old car. For the Euro, it is cosmetic, but i felt it to be practical as well to have yellow fogs to compensate for HID's flaw in certain weather conditions - As funny as a HID + yellow might look, you do adjust to it, and i'm very fond of it as it stands out from the crowd.
that's my 2 cents worth.
I don't see a point in why people should start putting down other people in this thread.
im surprised by all the people saying that they got fined for having fog lights on...
i see people driving with them on at all times, even during sunny days. i agree that fogs are now mainly just serve a cosmetic purpose
i didnt know it was against the law to use fog lights unless it was foggy?
and whats so bad about having your fog lights on that you can get fined for it? some people say its bad that it glares, but ive never had glare from 'stock factory' fog lights.
unless people put silly after market fog lights, which arent posistioned correctly, then those glare really badly...
It's more of a courtesy thing i believe.
They can be annoying, and most stock lights are pretty tame, hence why i said they are optioned as driving lights rather than fog lights for some cars.
Viriix u have added ur "two cents worth" and hypocritically put me down in that sense.
U like the odd look and "adjust to it", but i personally dont. Sorry if that hurts to hear man, didnt mean to offend anyone :) :honda:
I want Euro-R's yellow fogs!
I would like to see the car in person, the pics of your low beams and fogs seem nice, they must be better in person.
Personally, i have now changed my stock fog bulbs to some taiwanese autojoy brand, they are a nice white colour,
match my parkers and similiar to stock 4300K Hid (especially from the drivers seat) but they are COSMETIC "can't see shit captain" style.
To top it off, in last weeks rain when i had them on for the whole week, the lense cracked (heat vs cold rain).
I will be changing back to stock ... soon.
The stocks light up much more road, but the whiter aftermarkets look better but everyone knows that :confused:...
i was just after a bit of wank factor trying to stand out.
thanks for the feedback guys! im gonna have to defend those who use fog lights on clear nights, we arent a bad crowd as those hyundai excel drivers who use one rear red fog light. NOW THATS REALLY ANNOYING!!!!! ultimately i think its each to their own :wave:
I'm in Queensland. I've even been behind a marked cop car with my foggies on the other night and nothing happened.Quote:
