Does anyone know when you can or can't use fog lights?

I haven't used them yet in fear that some copper is going to tear me a new one because of some rule that I have no idea about.

But then again, they don't seem to do much at night anyways...

Thanks,

Cass

from my experience i dont think it is enforced very much as i have them on most of the time and have driven past many cops before who have had no prob with it. They arn't that bright at all just a normal globe and i wouldn't see how they would affect other drivers if anything i think they make your car more visible to other motorists so they dont bang in to you!

my understanding is that fog lights are yellow....

otherwise they're 'driving lights' and legal as long as they don't 'dazzle' other drivers.

i started a very similar topic to this a few weeks ago and that was the general ruleing.

As he said "Fog lights = Use only when in fog". For some people it can be hard to understand. Use them whenever you want and when a cop doesnt just drive past like you thought they would, expect a fine :thumbsup: .

No fog lights(When not in fog) = No fine mmmmmmmkay Foglights are bad mmmmmmkay :laughing-smiley-014:

Wrong.. Fog lights can also be used in rain and switched on in hazardous conditions as per instructions for rta website..

Fog is included in that, as is rain, when your broken down, etc etc etc.. Its up to the cop to decide when is hazardous.. so dont play funny buggers with them.

the ones at the bottom of the standard s2 front bar are the same colour as the headlights so they would be classified as driving lights then if i'm not mistaken.

The only issue i see there is that they dont point down. Cops will probably argue that they "dazzle".

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
