fog lights
 
hi guys; just noticed that the drivers side fog light is always on when my low beam lights are on. when i turn the fog lights on, the passenger side fog light goes on. switch off and driver side stays on. anyone else have this problem. thanks in advance.

that is an odd issue, don't think I've heard of that one before. Sounds like a wiring gremlin.

When I turn, the one fog light turns on depending on the direction I turn, is that right?

dont know, i was in park but my steering wheel was turned to the left (towards drivers side)

If you are driving under 40km with lights on automatic - your fog lights have a turn-off light (ie corning light) via a reflector within the fog light that comes on when it senses you are making a turn

It's not an issue, it's the cornering lights, as wdmiax5 said. No wiring glitch.

Well, you can do it with parking lights and halos.

Turn your headlight switch to the parking light setting, and hit the fog light button. Looks really cool IMO..................make all the ricers envious (they have to rewire their lights to do what we can do :cool:)

see i want to be able to just turn the fogs on and thats it...

trueX5er 04-08-2007 12:30 AM

unless you rewire the DRL to the fogs then I don't think you can do it...

Agreed, parking lights + fogs looks WAY cool.

Well, it is only my personal opinion, but I would say it is only cool if there is fog around. Fog lights in the daytime, without fog, look about as dorky as can be imagined. An unfortunate habit shared with Preludes and lifted 1/2 ton short box pickups.
But hey, that's just me. :takecover

No lol I only use it when I'm parked/stopped on the side of the road for some reason, or in my driveway.( anytime one would use the parking lights) As so I still am shining some light, but people coming towards me can still see my hazards if they're on. But mainly because it's cool.

celm 04-08-2007 08:41 AM

AzNMpower32 04-08-2007 11:03 AM

Ok, I'm slightly younger than the majority here so I do sometimes like to drive with just the foglights cuz yes it looks "cool" (I actually told my friend how to do this on his X5 and 325i). BUT it's usually for some visibility benefit.........like a dark, cloudy day or if I'm hittin the backroads which often have a lot of shade/trees.

celm 04-08-2007 01:51 PM

dude im 32,and i love somtimes when during the evening when the sun is going down.and your driving with just the fogs
