Default She gets a face lift

Today my Rover MK1 Club gets a face lift with a set of Fog lamps. A good day to get them as it's foggy here in Yorkshire!

please make sure you turn the rear one off when in heavy traffic or visibility is 100 meters or more or a clear night.

Rear foglights, worst thing ever to be put on a vehicle.

MG Rover were ahead of the game here. The button is not latching, so are a one time operation for this time the ignition is on. If you want them back on then you need to press the button again on next start. Same feature was on Rover 800's IIRC.

Its the front fog lamps I've had fitted! I know what you mean about the rears though- so annoying if left on when its clear. I rarely use mine!

It’s the constant use of Front fogs that annoys me, particularly on wet roads. Surely the clue's in the name.......Fog lights.

But back on topic, a good upspec to do.

Fog lights should only be used when it is ‘foggy’, not used all the time.But of course Rob knows this, but no doubt he will be using them more up ‘norf’ tha I will ‘furver sarf ‘. Nothing gets on my wick more than people who drive about with fog lights on with their headlights every night.

Hey ,

I have to keep mine on at night due to the fact I have had my front end off 3 times in less than 6 months of ownership . Can’t see the road properly
Would love to set up all four myself as getting them done in a garage : better off asking mr bean sorry mr beam lol
