Headlight Question

[Noel Brig]

Thanks for all the replies, some interesting comments. Interesting to note that others have noticed this poorly lit area immediately in front of the vehicle when on full beam, its an important area and if it is well lit it gives very important last minute visuals on puddles and pot holes.

Thanks "Doofer" for letting me know the fogs illuminate this area really well

Thanks "Col" for the caveats, my thinking is still that; if they only come on with full beam then they are no longer fogs, they become just additional spots and the rules are quite lax with those, you can have them up on the roof or all the way along the front. I will ask a lad who is an mot inspector and see what he thinks.

"Brodfather11" I was sort of thinking of just wiring the things up so the dips wouldn't go out, but I'm a bit feared of melting some cable somewhere, Also, if you just joined the wires together then main beam would always be on when the dip was? I'm sure I could figure it out with some relays but would hate to feck up the wiring - LOL

I am going to have a look at how easy it would be to fit some fogs, and if it is not to difficult or expensive I might give it a go. I will have this van for many years to come and it would be nice to have proper lights fitted, especially as I live in a rural area with crappy roads that are regularly flooded.

And on a final thought regarding the improper and anti social use of fogs - the other week I seen someone having a driving lesson and had the fogs on on a clear evening in a built up area - presumably the instructor must have told her to put them on, there's no hope....
