Fogs as DRLs

[Daveperc]

Too much effort at my age!!!!!

And the point of DRL's is that you don't have to remember to turn them on!

I'll do the mod and let you know!

I must have misunderstood then. I thought in the above mod you still have to turn the fogs on manually.

[el_ringo]

No, don't do it. I have some nice LED sides and they look smart enough if you want that effect - and besides plod will probably tug you.

I say just stick your lights on MrPerc.

Chunk, I swear your other half is putting drops of concentrated anger juice in your daily meals dude without your knowledge, you seem increasingly feisty in your elder/balder forum years .

I've used my HID fogs as DRL's from day one. A very simple Mod which I believe to be a great safety feature. It greatly improves your visibility to other drivers. In other words you are much more readily seen at a greater distance and will not go unnoticed, which to me greatly reduces the chance of you getting into an accident with some one who didn't see you coming. I also make sure they are Aimed as low as possible so as not to blind oncoming drivers. And besides It gives the car a very intimidating look also, when this beast approaches from behind you will move out of the way..............

Hid as fogs is something that I thought of doing on my RS6 as soon as I realised that I have a spare kit that will fit straight in

I run with my headlights on all of the time but would prefer to have hid fogs.

I have a list of things to do the next time the bumper is off, this list is getting longer!

Is it not illegal.. and chavvy, to run fogs during the day/not needed?

[Daveperc]

DRL's are now mandatory on all post 2011 cars in UK - so definitely not illegal. There are no specific requirements on placement, only a general requirement that they must not dazzle oncoming traffic - if properly adjusted then fogs shouldn't do that.

Parts for mod ordered!

I might post pics - if I can face the oncoming abuse!!

[Shoppinit]

Surprised your favourite abuser hasn't turned up to comment.


/other than me, I mean.

While looking for something else, I came across these, Dave:

Might be of use.

[Daveperc]

Yes - that's very similar to what I ordered but 7.3% more expensive!!

got any photos

Bluish tint is camera related, they are actually White (6000K) as shown in the other picture. Also in Canada DRL's are standard on all RS6's sold there..............

[el_ringo]

They look good, was tempted to install a whole bunch of HIDs
