mikester Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 but i've recently seen something that i'm not sure could be a good idea.. i'm a sucker for anything led, i have led torches, loads of them, and i've replaces everything i can on the car with led's, i've seen some h1 led units, perfect for in the fog lamps... bear with me now. they blatently are NOT for use in foggy conditions as they don't emit enough light, however i'm thinking about getting them as use with sidelights, like on the mini's of recent. they have a similar thing, not fog lamps but circulr lamps that act as seperate sidelights. they're extreme white just like my led side lights. they aren't cheap either. money isn't the issue, the issue is i don't want to get pulled over for 'usng my fog lights' when they aren't actually fog lights. i'm almost certain the light emitted won't be near enough to dazzle anyone however i'm worried an officer of the law won't see it like that. what do you guys think? obviously the use of my front fog lights will be lost but i can live with that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I say nay. Fog lights on with no fog really pee's me off and having a light, although not technically a fog light, on in that position would look silly to me. What would you do in the fog? At the end of the day it's your decision, personally I'd look in to some DRL's instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 the aftermarket and diy attempts into drl look too 'stuck on' and not very proffesional. so not really a fan. plus its the age old lexus light issue again, its not an oudi so why put an audi feature on. its sad that every other manufacturer is copying them now. i'm torn, i really am. i think they'd look great.

Gazjs Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I imagine they would look good, and sounds a great idea. As to the police, i suppose it depends on what mood they are in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick88 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Could get away with, the Galaxy has it's sidelight's/DRL's in the foglight unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryboi Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Think it's a good idea, would look great. The thing is police aren't going to listen to you try to explain that they are not fog lights so you might get fined :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
