General Turning spot lights - like em or not

[Ffoxy]

thats a nice signature you got there A1ANT (pic of bravo and turbo at bottom) if thats what you call it - how you do it - total novice in stuff like that

A gent by the name of This Bitter Pill can do them (he did mine and several other lucky peoples on here) The only proviso is that you contribute (again) to the Forum. Contact him and see what can be done for you, he is a very nice chap!

also people who say they're nice on dark road, why don't you just turn your foglights on in that kind of situation.

Just tell everybody that it is illegal to use foglights until visibility is below 100metres. They won't like to be told of course, but never mind, they need to know.

and then have no fog lights, no.

No... they have different relays therefore should have seperate fuses

wrong, it's the same fuse (actually two fuses, one for each bulb)

You mean there is no facility to turn them off?

there's no way to turn them off.

 

[Juliet Bravo]

what about if you have the fogs on all the time - then there will be no switching on or off

yes but then you'd lose most the high beam because it turns the headlights off when you flick the highbeam with the fogs on.

I hate the farkin' things.

At first they were amusing, then mildly embarassing, then...

A few weeks back a guy pulled out 3 feet in front of me on a mini roundabout, and I avoided ploughing into him by a matter of inches. Having given him the mandatory beep and the hands-in-the-air gesture signifying "WTF?", we then stopped at some traffic lights, at which point the old boy jumped out, came up to my window and said "Sorry mate, I thought you were turning left, your foglight came on and I thought it was your indicator!".

Boy, did I feel a tit (and not in a good way!).

So they're actually dangerous as well as annoying

Just need to find 5 minutes on a dry day to whip the bulbs out - its not as if front foglights are ever any use anyway!

Manual, page 35, left column:
Cornerning light (activation/deactivation of “Cornering lights”)

I'll try it in my car tomorrow.

I just checked the manual again and there's no such thing.

You must have an older edition of the manual. Check out the here titled "New Bravo Handbook 06-08.pdf" in this post, and it is on page 35.

I've got the old manual, without the instruction. Have to see if it works, but its not very clear. Google translation of the original italian?

It doesn't work in my car, maybe it's for an updated version of the onboard computer.

Perhaps we can get a software update? Does T know?

I know there are updates for my wifes C4 to correct bugs, so maybee........

 

[sattyb]

while i like the idea of them i think other people need to be educated on them e.g. the police. was pulled over last night by the police for misuse of my foglights. Explained the reason for this and gave him a demonstration but he suggested i take the car to dealer to rectify the problem as he thought it was bad wiring????????? I explained that many new cars have these but he stated that he had never seen this before.:bang:
Now, are these illegal? (don't think they are) and am i forever going to have to explain to dopey coppers why they do this?

If people can mistake fog lights for indicators, they shouldnt be driving.

they mistake them for fog lights because they are fog lights; they're absolutely useless as cornering lights.

they cover only 3 feet in front of the car.
