could you not have the fogs on too with a led replacement lamp i think that would look better as imho they look to close together when on on their own

I like having fogs but the amount they're used I don't think they're necessary. The A6/S6 ones look awesome  :happy2:

I have never used fog lights lol, I probably wont for years either but I do like them and like to know they are there still :P

If I had an r32 the s6 ones would be a must!

....When I investigated DRLs on my Mk5 GTI I discovered that unless I changed the panels to the horizontal slatted grills like the GT has, the crash bar would have to be cut into for S6 DRL units. So, a no-no.

Because I live in an area where fog/sea-mist is common, I thoroughly tested my use of the stock fog lights before deciding that they were fairly useless in how much they helped - I use my Xenons dipped for fog.

Why is it that some cars are factory supplied with front fog lights and others aren't? Mk5 GTI and R32 for example.

Cost issues? The R32 was expensive enough back in its day.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....I don't doubt you're right. It does tend to also indicate that the car manufacturers aren't too fussed about the effectiveness of front fogs, plus without any compulsory legislation.

I'm soo wanting to kill about every 3 out of 10 here in Denmark, as it has become fashion to run the fogs all day long and in a white landscape they get reflected a lot more from the ground than in foggy weather.  :fighting:

Fu**ing morons  :mad:

....I hadn't realised about the snow reflection and so if I ever find myself out in snow in daylight, I'll switch my LED DRLs (in fog light position) to sidelights. I avoid taking my car out in the snow anyway.

Its not just Denmark. It was driving me crazy when we had snow. 45% of the cars coming the other way had there fogs on! Its bad enough at night in normal conditions. Its like a virus its spreading like crazy.



I did really like and love these DRL until i looked at this photo.
It suddenly looked like a pair of cock and scrotums to me. :confused: (Sorry to the owner and i don't meen to hurt your feelings its prob just that photo) Its just what it suddenly looked like. :ashamed:

....Wow! Does your cock light up in the dark then, Geoff!?   :evilgrin:

The good thing about how mine are wired is that at night or whenever I switch to any other lights my DRLs auto switch completely off. Result is I can look a cool but safer dude in daylight and not a cock at night.

No problems Snoopy everyone should have their own opinion and mine is that these are the best OEM look DRLs available :happy2:

I guess that's why I got them fitted.

To be honest I wouldn't go by that photo that I took, as the exposure is over what it should have been to let the light in, as it was dusk (can't tell can you  :wink:).

I too really liked them and as i said its just that photo that made me see it differently. :ashamed:  I have watched and took part in this thread since day one and never thought that till i got to see that photo. I too really liked them and never thought anything else of any of the other photos. :happy2:
