Used to be 24" but is now 1200mm so plenty of height to play with.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
If you do fit them, please make sure they are set up properly. It creates havoc to peoples night vision otherwise. Mind you, could be useful if the Luftwaffe get frisky again.

I am cheesed off with the number of posers who seem to think that front foglights are just an addition to dipped headlights whilst they drive around under perfectly adequate street lighting.
 
Surely the whole point about foglights is that they throw a low wide beam and the "bounceback" from the fog is therefore reduced ? I mean REAL fog, not when visibility falls below half a mile !

In my opinion front foglights are only really useful when the light from dipped beams is being bounced back at the driver and not penetrating the fog at all. In such a case I would use sidelights and fogs... and in such extremes even the rear foglights.

Rear foglights ?  Grrrrrr  ... They are worst thing ever put on cars simply because nobody seems to understand what they are for !

It's seemingly a 'Look At Me!!!!!!!!!' issue, because.......

1. Haven't I got a superb car, please admire its bright shiney lights
2. It's not mine & I haven't got a clue where the switches are
3. I've nicked it & can't turn anything off
4. Warning!! Idiot on the loose!
