Rover 25 Fog Lights

Andy, Before you waste your money on fitting some fog lamps, I hope that unlike most drivers of cars with them fitted, you will have, or have already acquainted yourself with the law regarding their use. You can find relevant statements in the Highway Code here:

You might care to try to think on how many occasions you have driven when visibility is below 100m, and then ask yourself if it's really worth it. Unless of course you simply wish to use them illegally as an 'idiot indicator' for the benefit of other road users. (Thankfully the police, should they have nothing better to do, will still take a dim view if you try using that as an excuse.) And apart from that, most of them are utterly useless for illuminating anything, anyway.

I agree, you will always see some idiot on a crystal clear night using fogs. I always prefer driving lamps, i'm currently making brackets to fit some to my Rover Metro. My old fiesta had them, and they were realy good!

Indeed, a good pair of driving lamps would be a much better idea. However, good ones are usually fairly large and will therefore not easily fit on most modern cars. They also need to be wired such that they will only come on in conjunction with main beam headlamps, and will probably also need an uprated alternator to provide sufficient power. A much easier option to get better illumination on most vehicles would be to simply upgrade the standard headlamps. This can mean simply swapping the bulbs, but bear in mind that some bulbs available are not legal for road use, and that the higher power bulbs will suffer from a shorter lifespan than standard bulbs.
