Default Are Fog Light Covers Legal ?

Does anyone know if you fit fog light covers to a WRX what you have to do ? Do you remove the foglights, if so does this make you fail an MOT because they are fitted and the switch in there etc... ?

The surround comes off, the cover clips back in over the top. Fogs are unaffected.

FRONT fogs aren't part of the MoT AFAIK as they aren't a legal requirement. One of ours on the Xantia hasn't worked for 5 years, and I refuse to get the bulb changed as it's a bumper-off job costing over £100. Ridiculous French design

Lookin good - your right dead easy to fit, I might take the fog lamps out just so that when my 3 year old switches them on they don't melt the casing. As few things came to mind tonight when I fitted one in the dark.

1. I bought them in black cos clearly my cars black but the black STi has a gold fleck so will have to see in the morning if this is really noticable.

2. I have a WRX and these are fitted to STi's, anyone got any idea if there was a Stationwagon STi - I don't think there was!

3. As a result of 2. I might take the pink STi logo off - whadda you think.

All very unimportant of course -- but we are in the styling forum ----

Didn't have any stickers on mine so put these on as it isn't an STi.
