    EVERYBODY for the last 5 or so years has been taught by their instructor to demonstrate how to switch on AND OFF the rear fog lights and explain when they can be used. Its part of the show/ tell questions (sounds like a drinking game) learners sitting a test will be asked along with a host of others

    This is why everyone should drive imports.

    If I want to turn the fog light on I need to stop the car get out, go to the boot, get the fog light, lay on the floor, feed the wires through the gromet hole, stick fog light on the holder, attach wire to terminals, get back in the car and press the fog light switch

    white '96 s13 180sx - type g with more kouki bits - RB25DET, GTR steel twin turbo conversion, RB26 crank & rods. 2.6L VVT twin turbo, SR20 OSG box, OSG STR twin plate clutch, Z32 ECU w/ nistune.

    Am I the only one who doesn't get annoyed with people with fog lights on? I can't say it's ever bothered me or blinded me

    No they do not bother me much either tbh. Those headlights fitted to newer cars, HID or whatever they are called that have a tint of blue in them get on my t1ts far more. Maybe it is just my eyes but they seem to dazzle me loads of times when they are just on dipped I think they are ok if on a flat road, but if not they are far to bright for my eyes

    OLD THREAD ALERT

    but I realised that this is the twenty first anniversary of the last time I drove in fog*.
    4 Feb 1991, near Hawksworth in West Yorkshire.

    *-fog=less than 100yards/metres visibility

    We don't have fog nowadays.

    Gas central heating has caused this problem.
    When everyone had coal fires in their living rooms, we needed fog lamps.

    New cars are still fitted with them because it's the law, but the bloody things should have the bulbs taken out by the dealer in my opinion, to prevent well meaning drivers turning them on.

    I've driven in fog / thick mist several times this year. It's proper fog, usually by the river or on a "moor". Once for several junctions on M1.

    i use my fog lights when there is heavy spray on the motorway and when theres fog, they are there to help make your car be seen in inclament weather conditions to avoid accidents.

    Yes, they help your car to be visible. I can already see you
    They prevent me from seeing anything else ahead of you which is what I want to do.
