Hi

Can anybody here help me? I've got a 1987 1 litre Fiat Panda but have a problem. It failed it's MOT on a few things all of which i've fixed apart from the fog light. The problem is that it will only come on when I have dipped beam on. Is this supposed to happen or has anybody had this problem themselves and can help me out? Thanks very much

Operating like that is what they're supposed to do

Have a look here:

I'm not sure if it's the definitive source, but it agrees with what mine do...

Mines only come on with the driving lights(not low beam) and stays on with the high beam too.

(high beam part is wrong but i´m leaving it on so other posts make sense)_____________________________________________________________

I'm working on the basis that it's a UK specification car, built to conform with UK MOT.... rather like mine.

What do you consider "dipped beam". I´ve never heard of the term yet.

UK speak for headlights fully on (not "dimmed"), but not dazzling the oncoming traffic.

Dazzling them would be "main beam" - and a blue warning light in the dash, too: headlights shining as far as possible.

In other words it is driving lights like i said. (The others being low beam and high beam)

Yep.
U.K. spec ...Rear Fog light must only operate in conjunction with front dipped beam, as full beam must never be used in foggy conditions.

HHmmmmmmm

No.

You said yours stay on with high beam too - which is wrong in the UK.

When in Rome, do as a Roman

Now that you mentioned i noticed they do turn off with high beams on(truth is i´ve never used the fog lights on my panda, haven´t even driven it in the rain yet!![xx(])
