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".

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
