Title: Neon/Blue Fog Lights
Post by: Rich on September 17, 2009, 08:50:56 pm: I'd like to set about purchasing some bulbs for my fog lights which are Neon/White/Blue look

Searched in the search tool but couldnt find anything.

Has anyone done this conversion ? Is it easy enough to do ?

Anyone know of any sites ? :smiley:

Cheerz :drinking:

....No need for me to comment really - Everyone knows I love LED Daytime Running Lights!

I still haven't been stopped by the Police and have had only 3 or 4 other drivers try and tell me I've left my lights on in over a year. I would have preferred the ones as in the new Golf R but couldn't fit them.

Find out what sort of bulb the fogs use and I could find out. Does anyone know if the fogs are connected to the canbus and will throw up fault lights if the resistance is wrong?

I agree, but he could fit some L.E.D's that wont blind or dazzle on coming drivers. Just means that when it is foggy they will be of no use.

Post by: Deako on September 18, 2009, 03:55:54 pm: And its illegal.

Ddriving with fogs on when it isnt foggy is the chaviest of chav things you can do.

Sure, put your fogs on for photos if you think it looks cool. But dont drive with them on!!!!

....I get teased mercilessly on forums about my DRL's - It's really just because some people won't accept them as anything other than fogs just because they are in the foglight location, but..
