Fog light rant!

[Niall]

To anyone else on the road though James they are fog lights.

I could put mine on and call them DRL's.

If they are round lights seperate to the headlight, fitted in the same place as fog lights are, 99.9% of people on the road will think they are fog lights - So you still look like one of these guys!

If I were to do a JJ0063's road rant, it would be a video of me expressing my absolute hatred of DRL's on cars that don't come with FF DRL's. They look shite. Often aren't wired up properly and look shite. They look shite too. Shite.

Your fog lights in your picture look like LED/HID fog lights to anyone else on the road. Police included. I can't think that if you got stopped by the Police with them on, they would believe if you said "Oh they are lower voltage than fog light bulbs so they are DRL's"  and I doubt they are going to do any further testing, they'll just issue the fine and tell you how to appeal.

Agreed. I have DRLs on my car in the same lamp as the fog lamp and the amount of time i get "your fog lights are on" is pretty silly. "THEY ARENT FOG LIGHTS!!!!!!"
