fog lights on a 307cc

Maybe a stupid question, but front fogs on a 307cc ... where are they .. infact ... where are the rear one/ones ?

Confusing .. I thought fog lights are set low on the car to get under the fog to illuminate ..... i guess not

The front fogs on a 307CC (spec permitting) are contained within the main headlight cluster.

As I believe front fogs are more a style thing as you are rarely able to use them I think it's a daft idea.

I believe they will go back onto the bumper on the 308CC.

No idea about the rears, I expect they will be within the light unit - turn them on and find out

Looks like they are in the main headlights cluster ... I must say though I have used them in the past here in N.Lincs you tend to get strange drifts of fog and it has helped purely because the lights are so low .... at least it felt like it helped at the time... your right though they are hardly ever used.
Ive been looking at 307's and have not spotted one with fog lights yet

I use the four lights on the front of my astra convertible all the time at night even when its a clear night with no fog. I think it looks nice, i have xenon hid headlights as well so my car looks pretty cool with all its lights on at the front.

Then you risk being stopped and fined and not to mention your driving around blinding other drivers.

Too right, i think people that drive around with there FOG lights on when it isn't foggy are complete and utter knobheads, they actually look stupid, and they blind the person infront.

Then again that is my opinion and others are allowed there own.

Touch wood, i havent been stopped for using fog lights yet although a member of my family was recently. My fog lights arent dazzlingly bright that they would blind someone, they are just right and give out enough light, And i dont drive around with full beam on either, i dipp when other people are coming in my direction.

i also agree that driving around with foglights on in the wrong conditions is totally wrong and isn't condoned by this forum.

Its not the brightness thats the problem, fog lights are designed to have a wide and low beem, wide into the direction of oncoming vehicles.

With regards to that, I think Webcode (Simon) had the right idea with his signature......

I'll admit when I was younger I used mine when I wasn't supposed to and got fixed penalties for doing so - but not all the time. It didn't take long to work out what I was like with them on.

So do us all favour mate and turn them off.

im not doing anybody any harm, i see loads of people have them on, and they are brighter than mine, and at the end of the day its my car.

Not doing any harm!? Tell that to the people you're blinding!! And "at the end of the day" it's also your license - let's hope it's not too long before you build up enough points to have it taken away from you. :rolleyes:
Oh, yes - it doesn't look "nice", it looks stupid!

im not blinding people, as i said before, they arent that blinding, my headlights are brighter. And dont worry i havent got a penalty point yet. It doesnt look stupid, at least the astra convertible has proper fog lights, the 307s are built into the headlight cluster, you couldnt distinguish them from the sidelights
