as far as I know they have to be turned on manually each time you start the car if you want them on. I'm sure there is a way to wire it up somehow, if you wanted to hardwire them to be like daytime running lights.

 

its against the law here, I've changed mine to projector units with an led halo. The 55w halogen is wired to the fog switch, and the halos are wired to the side lights, that's my effort at sensible DTL's. I'm looking at getting the new waterproof slim ballasts and installing xenons.

 

Do you mean that it's foggy every time you turn off the car and ALSO foggy evey time you start the car?
What are foglights for??????????????
2 of the things that most annoy me with a lot of drivers are using their fog lights for no reason and thinking they own the left lane.
Fog lights are for fog and the left lane is for passing ands passing ONLY

 

Lol, Luc, if fog lights on other cars bother you that is because they are misaligned, they should be pointing slightly downward, like cornering lights that face forward.

Most cars have fog lights that do very little for vision but the Jag's are awesome and make a huge difference in visibility. And yes, also because they make the car look nice...

 

To my understanding they are only consider fog lights when the color of them is yellowish.

If the color is white, blue they are refered to as driving lights.

 

Fog light has nothing to do with the color ( France had yellow lights, including low and high beam forever up to the 90') but rather with the shape and reach of the beam.
Fog lights have a very wide and low/short beam, driving lights have a much more focused and further reaching beam.

 

In Paris we used to call the yellow low beams "city lights" -- they were required. And we thought .........very cool ....... being expats.

I always liked how the French made all these crazy rules that forced you to add and remove lamps - it particularly pissed off the Germans.

And - as mentioned - driving lights always refered to suplamential lights to aid in normal driving out in the country. Not high beams.

But what do I know
