dumb qeustion on fog lights

[henrycliodriver]

how much (or can it be done) to add fog lights to a 2000 renault clio?

 

[Storm_Force]

I "think" the wiring is already there just a case of getting a stalk from a scrappy with the fog light switch, and obvious a set of fog lights.

 

[DrR]

Why, don't plan on using them do you? unless it's foggy

 

[henrycliodriver]

because it looks better espeshally at night we all know it

 

[DrR]

The comment offically makes you a chav now

Also it's illegal.

 

[henrycliodriver]

tell me it doesnt look cool!

 

[DrR]

It doesn't, makes you look like a nob IMO.

 

[pinky]

If the fuzz see you driving with them on..you can get points I think.
Plus its very chav.

 

[SC03OTT]

yup, makes you look like a tool. i only use mine in the fog because i have to to get the back ones on.

i cant see how blinding people coming in the other direction can make you 'cool'.

 

[bybygti]

is very chav, i kno someone with a 07 evo who drives with theres on and told them the same thing, said if it lookd cool with the brake lights on would u drive with your foot slightly on the brake to look cool!?!?!?!? INNIT bo!

 

[henrycliodriver]

didnt realise it was punishable by points, but their not that bright anyways, ive got a mate with a clio 2003 and he drives with his on everwhere so i thought id jump on the band wagon

 

[DrR]

Well if you come towards me with em on you'll be getting full beams.

 

[bybygti]

Well dont, would you laugh at a retarded midget???? No

Its not big and its not clever!.

 

[henrycliodriver]

yea fair point i just didnt think it was that bad to do, i always see people that do it hmmmmm:-s

 

[Giles]

it depend what model is your clio

generally its a £30 fixed penaly, unless you cause a crash, or are using them inappropriately (flashing them at people i guess) and also a very boreing lecture from the police man. and if they pull them expect them to look over the whole car for defect not just your fogs.
but if your a repeat offender i'm sure there would be some points handed out. I believe its known as chav tax on here.
besided they say it looks sporty, none of the touring cars or rally cars have foggs as the general spec, they just have fake plastic bumpers, so technically the basic clios have the sportier look. you might think they look better but they dont help you see better at night, they dont do much distance illumination they just light up the 2 feet at the front of the car the head lights over shoot.

 

[henrycliodriver]

so basically its not worth the cost?

 

[Giles]

what model is your clio?!

 

[xcore]

people with fogs on when its not foggy are complete nobs

 

[henrycliodriver]

its a 2000 modle

 

[henrycliodriver]

**model

 

[SC03OTT]

im not convinced fogs will make a ph1 look any better tbh

 

[Giles]

yeah I know but which one??

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

I get pulled all the time for having my foggys on (call me a chav if u will) the bizzies arent that bothered unless their in a mood. just use the same excuse as me "sorry i didnt know they were on" lol it always works.

or the one i used the other day "its a new car i dnt know how to turn them off" even though iv had the car over a year.

Giles my clio is a 1.4RT from 1999, is the wiring there?
I was thinking of gettin some purely for aesthetics, but if the wirings there then I may as well hook them up

 

[Beef-Mc]

Most cops will pull you and give you a £30 penalty.

I added them to my car as I felt it made the front of the car look better, cost £25 for the stalk and £40 for the fogs and the wires that connected them together plus another fiver for the supports.

Some of the lower levels of cars such as Authentiques however don't have the neccessary wiring under the dash.

yes

If you go look in your engine bay, go down near the battery & the passenger headlight. You will see the wire/plug at the bottom for the fog lights.

[DrR]

[kie1an]

[BaSKet_CasE]
