Fog Lights

[7yphon]

anyway my mate got pulled over with his Chaser didnt relise he has his fog lights on, Long story short he got slaped with a Fine,

[KeeFy]

Fined for fog lights? Original or aftermarket ones ?

[7yphon]

Original Fog Lights from the factory

$100 and 3 points is correct.

Yep certainly is! and F$%ken ridiculus!! my mate got done same thing. Except oe of his park lights weren't working and that's what he told the cop. The cop acknowledged it and said "Oh I see" "But I still have to give it to you" "I'll write a note and you can complain and hopefully they'll wave it"

Big waste of time! no waving at all!

I thought though that fog lights are technically those yellow looking ones?? the ones that are on say the S2 skylines are just normal white glowing ones. So they shouldn't be regarded as fog lights? or is it the fact that they are lower on the road etc??

Foglights are basically anything else other than ur highbeam, lowbeam and parkers....... i think. hahahaha.. I would understand if they gave u a fine for aftermarket fog lights. Or for normal fog lights if they are shining too high. But OEM foglights is just too much. There's a reason why they come as OEM. And the oem ones just brightens up the road a little, they don't shine high, like how pple install aftermarket ones onto their bullbars and stuff. pretty crappy rule i must say.

foglights look stupid anyway, turn them off.

[7yphon]

Wow thats really GAY! What a f**king stuped system.

[BNR#$]

it depends on the cops, i had cars like supra, legend, levin, silvia, they all have yellow lights next to high beam, and i switch on all the time and passed cop cars "N" times, and they never give me any trouble.

or play in the safest way, swap the yellow lbubble with normal white and you never have any troubles. a lot of silvia owners does it to stay away from trouble.

[kamakazi]

they are normal and white lights they arnt bright or anything

[BNR#$]

if they are white and normal, then why they brother to take you down?

that doesnt make any senses, all the VZ has fog light and they got switch on all the time!

if this is the JZX90 chaser they have yellow fog light in between, then they can give you a ticket for it.....

[kamakazi]

nah its a jzx100 i think ill look into it a bit more. the cop couldnt get me for speeding so he had 2 get me 4 something hahaha. but yea if he cant get me for this it will ok coz i dont want to loose my licence over fog lights

Wait stop. When you pple say fog lights, you mean YELLOW? Not clear normal ones?

[GWP021]

you can get done for the std white factory fitted fog lights but most cops are pretty good about it cause they relise as do you and i that fog lights aim low and dont disturb other drivers ( been pulled over in dads xr6 and had this discusion)

the cop at the time agreed with me that this law is iffy and let me off with a warning when i told him i used them to make the car more visible to other drivers ( like they tell you to with your parkers on the adds)

*edit* no idea what the fine is he didn mention it

[BNR#$]

strange poeple, starnge place and strange LAW
