Suvvey:
The other problem with the new lights is that the 'halo' sidelight ring is very blue. Didn't realise it was quite so blue when I ordered it. I was going to wire them in the same way as the front driving lamps so that the halo comes on with the sidelights and just the main beam is switchable, but after confusing info on the whole blue light thing I've decided that this will also have to be switchable.
Some people have told me blue lights are a strict no-no but others have said they are fine as long as they do not flash :? either way I think it is a little too boy racer like for me so will be fitting another switch.
Terranosaurus:
Could you not change the bulbs for white/clear ones, or is the blue halo ring done another way?
ian_s:
just remember not to dazzle anyone with them! then theres no reason for the boys in blue to get involved

My tame tester assures me that 'blue' headlight bulbs should be an MOT fail.

According to Wipac, the regulations for driving (not fog) lamps are as follows:
"Driving lamps can only be used with main beam headlights and must be extinguished when headlights are on dipped beam. Driving lamps should be fitted at a maximum of 1200mm from the ground to the upper edge of the lens and a minimum of 500mm from the ground to the lower edge of the lens. Pairs of lamps must be at least 600mm apart measuring from the inner edges of their lenses and not more than 400mm from the edge of the vehicle to the outer edge of the lens."
The 1200mm maximum height blows out any use of roof lights on the road. Although the minimum of 500mm seems to contradict vehicle manufacturers fitting lamps in the front spoiler.... or are these fog lights?
I am assuming this is an extract from the construction and use regulations.
