the reason the police used to stop peeps with fogs on during the day was because the 55 watt power blinding on-coming traffic..replacing these with low power led bulbs for drl purposes is a logical step..

classing the front lower lights as fog lamps when leds have been put in is a bit of a grey area me thinks Craig..i'm sure the police would encourage changing them so that you will be more visible.. ... - .- -.

Stan, since when do the police use logic? For what its worth my friend, i completely agree with your logic Thumbs Up

But, when plod are looking for a reason! And to the letter of the law... They are fog lamps and always will be, no matter what bulbs you fit...

Far safer to change them for LED DRL lamps Thumbs Up

I used my IIDTool to set the main beam at 40% brightness as DRLs and got flashed by other drivers so often, I ended up turning them off........... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I am able to demonstrate to plod that my "fog" lights are not on during the day/inapropriately, by the simple fact that

a) the switch on the dash for front foglights does nothing,
b) that the DRL's dim when I put the headlights on, fog lights wouldn't do that
c) that they are far less harse in brightness terms than some of the factory fitted DRLs, almost to the point of distraction and blinding
d) point to the DRL controller under the bonnet
e) point to my howto on this forum Smile

anyway, stan told me it was OK Rolling with laughter .

You also need to have a very good look at where you want to put your switch. If my memory is correct there is stuff blocking that position from behind. Was going to put a switch there myself for driving lights But something stop me Question
