OK, dumb question time - I'm considering fitting either Fog or Driving lights to a standard STi7.

Can you use Driving Lights in Fog like Fog Lights (i.e. have them on independently of Main Beam), or are they only a supplement to main beam?

Also, does anyone have a front end picture of a WR Blue STi7 with the STi Grill Covers on - not convinced what it will end up looking like?

Cheers,
Nick

I'm fairly sure they're designed to work on main beam only.

If you do find a pic please let me know cos I also have WR Blue Sti and am considering driving lamps with mesh covers.

Actually - go here - and scroll down - not a full shot but might help

It is indeed an offence to use drive lamps wired as fogs, i.e. on with dip beams - apart from the fact you may dazzle someone and cause a crash.

Also, fog lamp beam patterns are designed with a wide flat top beam that shines under the fog - use a drive lamp in the fog and it will throw the light straight back in your face and dazzle you....

Thanks for the feedback - think I've set my mind on Fog lamps now, but I'm still trying to track down some full pics. Anyone got any?

Nick,

Personally I'm going to go for driving lights - there's a lot more darkness than there is fog - and after having a car with xenon's - the Impreza's standard lights (even on main beam) aren't the best.
