Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Mattcheese31 - 01-08-2012

Anyone, just thinking of doing it on the DT . . . .. 'causeeeeee, how often do you use front fogs anyway?
can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be ok,

anyone convince me otherwise? . .Smile

I keep meaning to look at just maxing out the adjusters on mine, point the beam up a bit..

different lens on them though eh? . . .i was gonna fit proper driving lamps in the space instead . Smile

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Jonny81191 - 01-08-2012

that's a thought, change the lenses....

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Mattcheese31 - 01-08-2012

anyone else got any thoughts on this? . . . . .Smile

Just stumbled on this, working on maxing out the light output of my high beams, Xenons and additional driving lights. I think if you take out the reflector cap in your fogs, it just changes them to Driving spots. Will give it a go and put the results out!

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - rocker8742 - 06-08-2012

Iv got a set of 4" spotlights to go in place of the fogs, not sure what they'll be like but should be fitted by the weekend, was planning to put some hids in and see how that turns out pictures of the lights in y project if your interested

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Mattcheese31 - 06-08-2012

i've got some Hella 155 driving lamps on the way as we speak, look to be about almost exactly same size as phase 1 fogs . . . .should be a win hopefully . .Smile

No no no no no no driving lights are gay as f*ck. They are more commanly known as twatlights these days they just look stupid, even more so than driving with your fogs and sidelights on

IYO obviously Kyle . . Wink . . . .anyway mate they'll only be used when i'm alone on the road, 'cause i ain't a tw@ like some i agree . .Smile

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - puglove - 06-08-2012

I have thought about a similar idea,

I was thinking of adding a side light bulb to the ones on my DT the maybe convert the main bulb to work on main beab as a spot light kind of thing .

Still very much in the planning stage with some parts collected for the side light side of things

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - rocker8742 - 06-08-2012

could you tweak it to run dual fillament bulbs?

i need to cut a bit out of the top of the fog recess as it's a tiny bit tight in there for them, just need aiming up ever so slightly . . . what do you all think? . . Smile

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - rocker8742 - 21-08-2012

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - HDIkyle - 21-08-2012

Argh so you have done what I have done and removed the bulb cover so they are like extra high beams? I was thinking you were changing them to DGL

no no no . . .how very dare you . .. . .thinking of fitting some undercar blue neons though . . Wink

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - HDIkyle - 22-08-2012

Neons are cool tho!!

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - nauest - 28-11-2012

Haha, no it was me that cut out the fog lap caps, so they are addition to high beams, just extra light for those late countryside nights. Wouldn't touch DRLs.

I do have under mirror flood LEDs though, but they are only on with cabin lights.

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Piggy - 04-12-2012

I was intending to do this as front fogs do sod all.

Maybe to come on with main beam tho...dont fancy an argument with a copper when he thinks they are fogs and tries to fine me

Can you not drill a hole into the back of the fog light then add a second bulb.
Therefore if a police man does pull you, you can show him your fogs still work too!

RE: Changing fogs to driving lamps??? - Piggy - 04-12-2012

no...its illegal to have your foglights on without the weather permitting the use.

it is only a requirement to have rear foglights.
