Foglights...

[Phil L]

Hi all,

 

One of my front fog lamps has become extremely loose. The bolt that holds it in place does not fall out completely and so fortunately the lamp has not fallen off but I have no idea as how to access the bolt to tighten it. Is this an easy thing to access and fix or do i need to pay through my nose and take it to a garage ?

Its a driving light.. but thats irrelevant.

 

You should be able to reach through under the wheel arch liner.... but i'm not promising anything. Someone on here had to replace one the other day and managed it i think, so it can't be too tricky.. have a quick browse around the threads.

Yup driving lights not fog lights.

 

Yesterday I was following a car with its fog light blazing red at me, couldnt see a damn thing. Irony is that his number plate ended in the letters FOG

One of mine is broken, so I had a look on the net for replacements... Christopher Neil want £117.76 + VAT for one.

 

Got one on ebail for £13.50 in the end

Sorry for being thick but whats the difference between a driving light and a fog light?

 

And when are you gonna use your 'driving lights' any other time than when your driving?

[daves2111s]

Your driving lights come on only when your main beam is activated so assisting your normal night driving.(+ they look cool when you flash your lights )

Fog lights come on independantly so that you can aim their beam very low without dipped or main beam on that way you don't get so much scatter reflection back into your eyes off the fog.

 

So there you are then!

Driving lights have their beams set to be long and thin, whereas fog lights have short and wide beams. They're not just the same light used in different ways.

So ladies the question is which do you prefer...

 

Long and thin or short and wide?
