Peugeot 206 lights

A good idea is to join a 206 forum. You will get lots of good tips and info about these upgrades such as if the wiring is already there and the best way to do it if not.

I guess they're more a sort of low level light that increases visibility of you to oncoming traffic, and not designed to increase yours. As if you use full beams in fog you'll just get full beams reflecting off the fog at you with the level of the lights.

Is the wrong answer. They're designed to have a flat wide beam pattern designed to work "below" the level of the fog to aid your visibility.

These modern "fog" lights are just "trendy" embelishments in my opinion and as such a waste of money, electricity and bumper space..
Years ago people used to fit a spotlight on the nearside aimed at the kerb edge and a proper foglight such as Conor describes with a low flat beam to pierce the fog and illuminate the road ahead over the width of the beam, sometimes these had an amber bulb fitted. Of course then it was real fog/smog, something to really chew on, not a namby pamby reduction in visibility as happens now!
And of course, unlike now , they were only used in fog and not as an illegal "look at me, how cool I am with my foglights on in crystal clear visiblity"

I think foglights should be banned, as people just use them as a fashion accessory and dazzle other road users. :mad:

Funny how you see so many people with their front foglights on, but not the rears? Well of course they wouldn't have the rear foglights on in good visibility would they? After all, that would just look stupid (!). :rolleyes:

I have front fogs in my car. I turn them on when there is thick fog, not because they help but just because I feel I should stop the switch gathering dust. :rotfl:

By the way, light drizzle does not warrant foglights people! *not directed at anyone specific on here*
