is it legal to put led drl strips in your fogs and wire them up to your sidelights as one is broken on my abarth bumper and i think this is my chance to make a different mod to the normal abarth bumper. these are the leds im thinking of using. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-R8-s...arParts_SM&hash=item35b24d07f4#ht_2499wt_1052

this is my idea
i think it looks different to the rest

So you've got a broken fog light
So you've made it into a sidelight/DRL

can't see it been a problem to be honest
Your not driving around with you actual fog lights on all the time

If you have DRL's tho - That actually come on and off with the engine
Tell your insurance - they might knock back the price on renewal

:yeahthat:

If factory fitted fogs and switch is in the car they need to work as fogs to pass MOT so you'll need to remove the switch also.

Need to fit relevent DRL switching gear (only about £20-£25 on feabay).

my cars not genuine abarth so fogs aint connected :bang:

Now you say it me bad - Front fogs are the only exception due to how often they get smashed by stones etc. But general rule of thumb is ifits fitted (even if after market) they have to work.
