Hope im not pushing it but i just need to ask one more thing. When I do fit the fog lights how should I be turning them on and off? Do i need to put a new button where the demister button is? Also i'm trying to get hold of those BMW style bulbs which are luk blue 4rm far off but white closer. Does anybody know what theyre calld? Lol i probably sound pretty amateurish. well i am. bt any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks alot,

Ziyaad

You need to replace your headlight switch, if you look, at the moment it can be pulled once to turn on the rear fog light.

When the new one is in, is has another pull that will turn the front ones on, has a new icon printed on it too (glows green and red)

Hope helps

....because it looks sh!t, especially in daylight and is illegal and will net you an unwanted £30 fine :)

I hope you don't mean me :lol:

The only time I've had mine on is to make sure both bulbs are ok, and that was on the driveway.

Not you Tom - was adding to your list of reasons not to have them on when driving (when not foggy)

Unless you have Xenons, I still don't use them when it's foggy :D
