Driving Lights - Advice on law?
Guys,
Just picked up a set of prodrive driving lights for my 01 WRX, the fitting instructions seem to suggest you can wire them up either to main beam or dipped beam. My mate is convinced that it has to be the main beam only. I don't doubt him, but thought I'd check with the masses.
And Mark if you read this, I believe you matey - just wanted others to share your wisdom (oh how about next week for you fitting them - I'll bring chocolate biscuits! )

You used to be able to get Cibie spots that had a dip setting too; these could be connected to both high and low beam, but youd have to make sure that headlamps can be fitted that low to the road.

Hulk,
I had similar to my last car (Cibie Oscars at 130 watts each), fitted by my Subaru dealership, and placed where the foglights are situated.
They wired them up to come on at full beam only, to comply with the law. They went off when my beam was dipped.
They also wired them up so that I could switch them out completely if I wished.
Hope this helps.

I had PIAA's on my last scoob, and NO WAY would I use them on dip.
They are so bright they undoubtedly would cause accidents
They were wired in to come on on main, but I could also switch them off independantly. They could not be switched on at all on dip, and rightly so.
If you think the Saxo boys are annoying with their fog's on, you'd really hate anyone going around with lights that powerful on.......

Driving lights rule. Lane hogs always get out of the way if you flash those in their rear-view at night.
Also good for "reminding" w@nkers that they have their fogs on ...
And yeah, they only come on on full beam.
