"new" euros...now what

[rob hod]

   Hi,
        I'm with Kent on that one. Fog lights are for Fog. Here in the UK
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to use them in clear weather. I had to stifle a
laugh when a beemer owning friend of mine admitted he'd been pulled over by
the police and told to turn them off!

> Not sure why this is a problem, Kent, for if they are truly fog lights
they should be aimed low at the road directly in front of the car, and
therefore cause no issue to on-coming traffic. I have them on my A4 and like
the fact that they illuminate the road close to the front of the car, so I
use them frequently at night. What I DON'T like are the GM cars that use the
high-beams as their DRL's That is very irritating, even at 90% intensity, in
the evening before headlights are necessary and even during cloudy days....
