I saw an astra the other day with under car neons. Why would anyone want to highlight or attract attention to an ASTRA, pile of u now what. Under any car they are just awful.

I fine a lot of front fog lights are brighter than the main beam as they are needed when the visibility is very poor.

Ascotrun

I find the fog lights on our E34s to be the most useless I've ever come across !

But I do disagree with you over front fogs, most of them are pointing so high I find them quite offensive, but my wife says I get more like Victor Meldrew by the day !!

Also on my list of hates are blue washer jets, blue lights behind the grill, blue valve caps, and all those silly neon type lights the kids seem to put under thier cars in an array of colours.

 

 

Best Wishes

Only the rear fogs bother me.  I find that the front fogs are no brighter than the regular dipped beam and point down anyway.

Accepting the general silliness and indubitable illegality of it...

...I think the problem is that there's nothing cooler than an angel-eyed E39 with just the rings and the fogs on

Why do silly people drive aroung with their front fog lights on(except for when it's foggy)? How often does visibility get doen to below a 100m these days? If you can see the tail lights of thr car in front then he can see you.

There should be points added to your licence and not just a fine.

Basically their all a bunch of silly people

For the thick ones out there driving lights come on with the full beam and not a separate button. What they fail to realise is hot glass is more brittle and there not cheap to replace.

Got that off my chest
