Stupid fog light question
Stupid fog light question
I have just naught the honey comb grills and a pair of fog lights for me 6n2.
Question is, can I wire up so they come on with the side lights?

Re: Stupid fog light question
i agree with cornishdrummer mate... cant really see much point fogs are fogs and have a seperate switch for a reason
Re: Stupid fog light question
I like the look I presume the wires are there to connect up

Re: Stupid fog light question
The wires are already there to fit into the back of the fogs yes, and are joined to your head light swtich, which if you are/were going to use them just for fog reason you would need a new switch.
I know with some cars you can get normal lights, that look like fogs, but not sure if you can with a 6n2

Re: Stupid fog light question
also agree mate its your car do with it what you want dont let us persuade you either way
the way i see it is driving with fogs on can get you pulled over if its not foggy and if a copper tells you to turn them off what would you do ? take out your sidelight fuse ?, then you have no side lights,
also i dont think wiring them up would be great for an MOT

Re: Stupid fog light question
basically what you want i think is to have fogs and sides on without having your mainbeams on ?
first thing you need to find out is... are they on the same loom, im guessing they are as they are both applied by the same switch so is it just a case of bridging a connection between earylu sidelight to late fog ?
by the way i know very little about car electrics,![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Stupid fog light question
Fogs and sidelights can be put on easily - turn to sidelights and pull it out one notch
Point to note is, it is illegal to use foglights when it is not foggy and there is a hefty fine for this too. A mate of mine was pulled recently for it
Plus, personally, I think people who drive with foglights on when its not foggy are bloody stupid in all honesty - theres nothing cool about glaring other road users
If you want to do it properly, get DRL certified bulbs from Hella and replace the fog unit completely with them.
