ford focus edge Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Right first off are these things legal! ive trawled and all i can find is about the new cars. I intend to fit them around the fog light facing in towards the grill so there in a odd L shape with less of a harsh kink in theres a pic on the bottom of the post il try and edit what i mean into it!

H3lly Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 There a requirement now on all newly manufactured cars. If you fit them near the fogs you might as well drive with your fogs on. I don't know how the cops react to driving with fog lights on when there's no fog over there. But they can fine you for it here in Ireland.

ford focus edge Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 yeah you get done for having them on over here but drl's are nowhere near as bright as my fog's and yeah i know as of febuary 2011 its mandatory on all new cars for them to have drl's lol good but can guarantee theres going to be some daft ones out sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ano there a bit chavvy but i like the idea of having them on the fog light surround just never been sure really about the legality of it all like ive always fancied hid's but i know upfront there plain illegal on my car AHHH the government is utter !Removed! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
