Almost certainly the first option... Especially with a quality statement like this "Best Gift for your Girlfriend/Wife"

Neither, you'll turn your car into a christmas tree :sick:
-
out the two, the fogs, but DTRL's look out of place unless its a factory thing.
-
Fogs, but I would use neither, LED's emit very clear light and are efficient but they don't produce much light let alone scatter it well. So if you are planning to use LED's to improve visibility's just don't you will see f-all. If you are using it for looks/show then go ahead the light is very crisp.

DRL's look sh!t on a mk4 :sick:

Previous owner had them fitted, when i got the car it was smashed in the back seat aha.
I do have fogs in the headlights, maybe i should get some plain grills then..
-
and if its an 1.8t then your restricting airflow to the intercooler. just put the standard grills on.
actually saw a mk4 with the drls down the bumper, bit like the citroens, looked quite good

Daytime running lights annoy the p**s out of me, even when they are factory.

I have always thought the same until today.
Driving down a wet road, sun shining like mad and the road reflecting this and COMPLETELY dazzling me, I could just about make out the oncoming traffic, until an Audi coming along with DRL's got near.
The DRLs actually really made it stand out without blinding.
-
How old are you now then? How much more time do I have left?
I'm 23 so you have about 12 years. :evil: when I lived with my dad we tried to move there 3 times, but fell through every time, once the night before we were supposed to move. all of my holidays have been there, I love it there.
Also when you move to IOW, please take every with you from the SE, especially the likes of Croydon and Lewisham :grin: :grin: :grin:
ummm......... NO!!! it's too nice there, I couldn't subject everyone there to that much SE London scum.

You can do that with headlights too though.
I still put DLRs in the same bin as HIDs and the fog lights that come on when some cars turn a corner.

Fair point I spose. The fog lights that light up on conering do my head in.

Another thing that boils my p**s that. One of my biggest pet peeves on the road is fog lights on when its NOT foggy. I see it a lot up in Staffordshire. No one (i.e The Police) seems to do anything about it any more, whereas I can remember being pulled over for it when I had been using my fogs IN the fog and then forgot to switch them off as I came into a built up area...
-
The guy selling the fogs has terrible feedback, be careful!!
-
Anyone else noticed how laid back the police are on blown bulbs now?
Every other car I'm seeing has one headlight bulb!

No, not noticed. Can't say I've seen a police car drive past another car with only one light working. Or at least not as often as you do.

Round here it's terrible! Was following a police car and went past 3 cars with one headlight bulb working, one with no sidelight either on the same side. They didn't pull anyone.

Ive noticed that too, seems to always be around winter aswell...

Have you tried changing bulbs on some cars, they are a pain in the back side, no wonder people can't be asked. I just hate when they replace a bulb blown for full beams and fogs.

You sir, don't know how lucky you are! I've been abroad and hated it, (for work or to help friends, not for a holiday) I like my country. I prefer the isle of wight as it has nice scenery, nice people and less crime than what I'm used to, with the exception of Ryde, (I hope you don't live in Ryde) and in no way resembles London or peterborough.

Yes I have noticed, I drove a mate to Heathrow today left at 16:00 got back at 20:20 saw sh!t loads of cars with only 1 headlight working and quite a few where the sidelight light wasn't working either, not fun at 90mph trying to see if it's clear to change lanes, nearly had to slow down to the speed limit a couple of times. :grin:
It might be a good idea for me to give an opinion on the question this thread is about seeing as I haven't yet, I like Led's.
