Anyone else noticed their foglight lighting up the road as you turn tight corners? I notice it most when making my final adjustment when parking. It's quite a crazy yet cool little feature.

This a inherited from Stilo thing?

I'm sure its a feature mentioned in another thread somewhere.
Think its meant to help you see round street corners when turning in, when your headlights are shining straight on.

I thought I'd heard of it before but I tried searching using varios combinations of 'fog, light, turn, steering' but got nothing of use.

I'll have to get the Mrs to record the Bravo driving left-right-left-right towards her to show what it's like.

corner lighting, very useful, i think its law to have them on cars made after 2001?

Can't see how that works on cars without front foglights...

some cars have them built into the coner houseing on the standard lights.

Can't say I've seen any other cars light up at the corners when going slow. Certainly the father-in-law's 52 plate 156 doesn't.

my old mans opel omega did it. but it was top spec mind you.

Its a Merc thing

It also works when you indiacte with the lights on. Which ever way you're going turn with the indicatiors, that side fog light comes on at the same time.

Yeah, I must admit I find it a bit irritating, especially when trying to get out of my backyard - I reckon I'm going to blow the bulbs prematurely, and they look like a swine to change!

It makes me laugh, I expect people on the roads are saying "Look, a brand new FIAT and already it's blown a foglight, typical!"

I had that - turning into a pub car park and a mate told me I'd lost a light already.

Isnt having the fog lights on, when it isnt foggy something the police can pull you over for?

IF the Bravo is firing them on automatically, its going to get some people in trouble aint it!

Technically they're driving lights? I'll keep the manual in the car and if any policeman gets shirty I can show him in black and white.

Can you turn this option off?

Don't think so.

K, because I'll have Bi Xenon headlights, I don't think I'll need the fog light to be on in the corner. The Xenon Lights already have a wider vision then the normal ones....

And I think it looks stupid when I'm in front of a traffic light with one of my indicator lights is on.

I expect a FIAT dealer can turn it off via the Examiner.

I also expect FIAT would have checked the legality before producing an illegal car!

Indicator lights?

This question has been asked. Fiat said when fiat designed the lights they wording was very vague. It was lead to believe that there would be a second bulb in the lamp, at a lower power output. I can already see that this is going to be a problem, and would like to see what view the police have on this matter. In the manual they are classed as fog lamps, thus making them foglamps, not driving lamps.
