FOG LIGHTS LAMP GRILLE SET FOR VW POLO MK5 6R 2010- | eBay

$100 AU - seems good value - but wiring them would need to be done outwith the stock light switch me thinks....

[broxigar1983]

Those are ugly fog lights, I found these and would not mind getting them. The only thing I will do is to wire them so that they come on when switching on the head lights and not use them as fog lights

I don't know what the law is in Wa but its illegal to have fog light on when there's no fog and its a hefty fine here in NSW.

Yep, friend got a $100 fine.

Hence why here in Australia, the DRL function is programmed into the dipped beam headlight, not the front fogs like overseas.

You sure about that?

[gavs]

Yep, because it is illegal accross the whole country to run fog lights when it is deemed by the officer involved the conditions do not require the use of fog lights. If the programming has been set for the fog lights to be used as the DRLs then the dealership the car was bought from needs to re configure the settings.

All australian specced cars should use the dipped beam / parker globe mounted in teh dipped beam.

You sure about that?

Running on fogs in the uk too is a no no.

Could the reflector and bulb not be changed to give a DRL option / effect though?

I suppose you could replace the reflector & bulb with some sort of LED DRL set-up. But if you're thinking of something similar looking to a fog light without the glare, you'll have trouble convincing a police officer that it's not a fog light. No issue with an engineering certificate of cause -but the dollars involved in getting one of those...

What I am saying is that I dont think any EU market uses foglights as DRLs.
We take our headlight etc ADRS from EU standards now.

and that will only result in a higher fine, lol

That is what happened to my friend. As the police officer walked away my friends brother shouted something in the lines of "...only to reach your daily target...", thats when the officer pulled out his notepad

That's called failing the attitude test...

Euro spec Bluemotion with DRLs on....

[Smacca]

The Euro spec's DRL "fogs" look pretty cool IMO. And they don't have the dazzle to be mistaken for fogs (well I wouldn't write a ticket for them, but other less informed police might not be so convinced).

Didn't I read somewhere on here that the factory spec fogs have an additional globe not fitted for Aus delivery? Surely that's the DRL right? Sounds like an easy mod for a cool look...
