Nothing shits me more than having some wanker behind me, or coming the other way, with foglights on... it barely ever gets foggy in brisbane, so whats the bloody point!?

It is not as bad as people who drive with their high beam on...nothing beats 4 wheel drivers with high beam on.

In NSW it is an on the spot fine to drive with them on.

I've had a few cars with them and rarely used them but it was just the "look at me" wankers in WRX's that always had them....then the floggers in HSV's got them so now it appears COOL to keep them on and dazzle oncoming drivers. R34GTR's also have a really bad rear red light when the foggies are on and it is a pain to follow them.

Arrrgghh.

Following people in Sydney traffic who insist on driving with their SUN bright fogs on drives me up the wall. I should just tail them with my high beams on!

Or...

Maybe I should rig up my own 300W ones so can be cool as well.

I can't stand the wankers who put them on unncessarily.

They don't seem to understand that light is cumulative. None of the 4 lights might be very bright but together it's too much. Don't forget when they test your low beam it's not to see if it's bright enough it's to see if it's dim enough not to dazzle.

Saw a marked police car the other night with them on!!!!!

One of these days, I'm going to get out when at traffic lights and asked to dufus behind me "Where's the F****N fog???"

Sux!!! Seems like every new car that comes out has driving lights fitted and I personally can see the use of them at all... Sure the road looks brighter... but it's not like you need them... You might if you live in the country though, to see potholes and whatnot.

Rant;

And for the guys (honda and excel drivers of Geelong) who are fitting them to any old piece of shit to make them look good... what a pack of wankers!

fog lights, high beams and rear spot light shit me to tears.... I wish the Police would pick on people using them instead of picking on people who have BOV's and pod filters.... my eyes arent the best at night as it is and it only makes it worse having these dicks tailing you.....

It's only Snowmans unreliable piece of crap :D but after a long day then following him to Phillip Island where a fair distance has no street lights the rear light is just cruel. Thank god he turned it off....with a little "...it wasn't bothering me..."

are we talking about driving with fog lights on all day (ie volvo-style?) or just at night when your headlights are on anyway?

well it seems as though i will get flamed for saying this...

but i drive with mine on when its night as the stock r32 headlights SUCK ASS and i need the extra brightness... they aren't yellow though so its not illegal to do so.

Waz.

friend of mine got pulled up in perth in his vy ss ute for having low beams and fogs on and the cop warned him not to do it as it is an offence and you can be fined and have 3 demerit points taken from you. but also said that if you wanna drive with fogs on you are only allowed to have parking lamps on at same time. this made no sense to me as its just another wanky thing that people who drive new fords and holdens will do to show off.

mcnamg, While it is true you can have you fogs on with your parks, this only goes for foggy conditions. There are no occasions where you can drive with normal light plus foglights, even if it is foggy. Makes no sense to me, but that's the way they enforce the rules:(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
