I've got them on my car, I like them but noticed the lens doesn't fit the housing so great probably because they're CIBIE's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Whats the story with these lenses? Are the yellow an aftermarket lens or did any leave the factory yellow? Is there a source for new lenses? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Factory fog lights only came on with high beams. Thats why I installed the Jwest flasher unit living in the land of fog here.
And to hell with the factory fog's. The pilots available in yellow or clear, are soooo much better. |

QUOTE(underthetire @ Feb 5 2010, 02:47 PM)  Factory fog lights only came on with high beams. Nope. Other way round. Factory fog lights only come on with the low beams. They turn off as soon as you switch to the high beams. All European cars do that. It's against the law to run your foglights with your highbeams. In fact, it's against the law to run your foglights under any conditions other than fog. If you use them as running lights, you will get a ticket. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
