Question please

Most people don't know how to use fog lamps anyway, they are only supposed to be used if visibility is seriously bad.

The rule is, if you are having difficulty seeing other cars, they will be having problems seeing you, so use your fogs. At all other times, leave them off.

That's the thing. The highway code say "when visibility is less than 100m." That may be so, but if another car is 10m behind you, the chances are he'll see your tail lights perfectly well.

Front fog lights in the day are also pointless. They are for illuminating under the fog in the dark. Having them on in daylight fog doesn't make you anymore visible. I don't have a problem seeing approaching vehicles with just dipped headlights on in the fog.

On the subject of foglights, I noticed when I cleaned my car last week that where I expected them to be was a vent! So, where are they?!

(I do realise I could just pop outside and switch them on and find out but I'm away and it's cold outside )..

I'm pretty sure that like the R, the TCR doesn't have them.

  How will I survive?

Thanks for letting me know

On a Mk7.x Golf can you have the rear fogs on without the fronts?

The ones which really annoy me are cars where you can't have the fronts on without the rears - which is why you see chavs driving around with their rear fogs on (when its not foggy) because they want to look like a WRC driver with the fronts...

Yes you can. When you pull the lights dial out, first click us rears, 2and click adds fronts.

Thanks  - I've never fiddled around really. I rarely use them even though I am out slogging the roads most days.

It's weird, I guess climate change has removed fog - I can't remember the last time in 6 years (ie in a Mk7 Golf) when I have used them.

Suppose it depends where you live. I'm up on the north east coast so a sea fret is quite common and therefore my fogs are used.

Are you sure that's not the other way round?

Pretty sure it's that way around. One click is rear only, two clicks is rear and front. You can't have fronts on without the rear.
