Fog lights would be useless with high beams on, on the other hand, spot lights would come on only with high beams, I've driven with only the standard rx and parkers on a couple of times.

GenIII fogs are useless, just like the headlights.

[Sam]

Yeah they are. Can you get brighter ones?

[Morgan]

HID foggies


Shiv has yellow globes in his from memory... That might help in fog.

[Sam]

I'm not liking my hids at the moment. Going back to stock. One blew,now my high beams aren't working...

[Morgan]

Where'd you get your kit from?
That sucks!

[Sam]

eBay obviously. Lol. They were good at the beginning..

[Adam]

I got mine from eBay mate, the sellers store is mobii something, Chris recommended them, think Morgan has them, work good for me! Though mine doesnt like being on when i start the car, one fails to re ignite!

[Morgan]

Yea I used Mobii. Haven't had any issues and had them for 12 months now

[Sam]

Yeah ok. The other side is going strong. Maybe I've damaged a relay or something? The LHS fuse keeps blowing...

[Adam]

Checked wiring isn't shorting out?

[Sam]

Haven't checked properly. I'll have to do it tomorrow. Should I just take it all apart and try connecting it all back up again?

[DukeNik'em]

When you turn high beams on, wouldn't you want as much light on as possible?

Ah....hmm....not in fog McLovin

By the way yellow/orange is best in fog, like real amber orange. White light like HID will blind you in thick fog.

People get fog and driving lights confused way too much. Two different applications entirely.

A visual inspection of anything added should point out anything obvious

ive heard only legal place to actually even use fog lights is on the princes highway! seeing as around mt ousley is so often in fog
how true is this? i guess your allowed elsewhere if conditions require!

I'm going to be buying a nudge bar for my car, and mounting some big fsck off spotlights on it.

That's what I did, SubaXtreme bar and a pair of Lightforce 240's - fitted with a HID kit... Was pretty bright.

i drive everywhere day and night with my driving lights on. i think there a safety thing as im much more visible to other vehicles.

i have never been told off or warned (QLD) even tho been pulled over/flagged down for a few RBT's

[hawks_123]

If your after Pencil Beam lights, always mount them up high.
On a previous car i had them down low under the bumper, lost half
of the light on the road.
I have two small ones on a nudge bar, with 100w globes in each, the Gen4
lights are good, but these just make it easier to see 200m-300m ahead.
Doesn't look the best, but doesn't worry me, just gotta remember when i
park that i have that extra distance infront.
I did think about going for bigger ones, but it just would have looked
stupid on a mainly suburban car.
