jevansio Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If I wanted my front to look like this: Is it legal to wire you side lights up so that they power up your dip beam (or even the dip beam but slightly dimmer), or do the side lights need to be totally seperate lights?

AdzC Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I believe you have to have independent side lights for MOT purposes. Have a look on the direct.gov website for MOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Ahh right, I always find extracting info on sites like that very difficult What about if I ditched my fog lights, & used that as my side lights & the dip & main beam as normal? I takie it front fog lights are only optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 id say so, i dont think front fogs are mandertory thats a pretty evil looking front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supramkivcork Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That supra without front fogs looks sensational, you gonna go for some similar wheels Jay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 That supra without front fogs looks sensational, you gonna go for some similar wheels Jay ? Yip, narrowed it down to SA-70s, Advan RS's, or CE28n's, but in all black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Ce28n's if I had the money are the one set of wheels I'd absolutely love to have on my car. 9.5" all round ? nice range of offset available with them too Edited September 8, 2009 by supramkivcork (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If I remember correctly, on my old Sierra, the sidelights were a split filament bulb along with the dipped beam bulb. I can't see why you can't fit a lower wattage bulb in place of your foglight bulb Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why you can't fit a lower wattage bulb in place of your foglight bulb Jay. I think I'm going to do it that way Kev. It should be pretty easy to wire up anyways. I'll have a look for some twin filament bulbs and I might be able to retain the fog & side or dip & side. I've got a couple of ideas for a concealed indicator so I think I can pull that exact look off (BTW the guy above used his fog as an indicator, not sure what he did about the sides - unless he has pre-facelift headlights, but he's from Germany anyway so they prolly have different rules).

I'd be running 8.5" or 9" front, 10" or 10.5" rear. Don't tell Jamie but I'm quite taken with the Advan RS at the mo , they come in dark gunmetal already (which the CE28N's don't), and are significantly lighter than the SA-70's. They seem the best allrounder based on looks/weight/offsets & price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Lol, i saw the same pic on supraforum a few days back and thought the same thing:D I think if mine looked like that I'd finally be happy with the looks forever.

Kev.O Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It might be worth getting the twin filament bulb connection from a scrap yard, once you know the type of bulb that will fit where the fog light goes. It'll plain sailing after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll plain sailing after that Good idea Kev, I'll put that on my long term list, for the short term I'll just replace the fog with side light, I don't think I've ever found it that foggy that a front fog light is essential, TBH in the UK I find it hard to believe a rear fog serves any purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
