Hi,

It is good safe practice to have headlights on during they day, foglights and driving lights are pretty much a no no. Illegal in WA, but I'm not too sure about other parts of Australia, due to the globe itself not being directional and therefore can right get you in the eyes.

Cheers,

meh, i drive with headlights on 24/7 no driving lights now coz my fmic ate them...

helps morons not smash into you... i'm paranoid these days... especially with a black car...

there is a reason almost every motie you see has its lights on...

I usually put my lights on on freeways any time of day and when driving away from the sun. It's much easer to spot a car with headlights on when the sun is shining in your mirror.

sick "splash lights bro chappel street chasers OMG"

its purely for the wank factor, . when its just becoming on dusk i turn on my lights to hep other motorists see my car.

when its raining or foggy.. then fog lights are acceptable

Hi,

Are you actually allowed to drive with fog lights on over east?

Headlights should stay on 24/7 - headlights save lives.

AFAIK its against the law to have them on in ACT, but its not very enforced

Same in Vic for the rules against driving with foglights on when theyre not needed. Ive never heard of anyone getting done for it personally though.

the law states australia wide...
2 lights and 2 parkers thats it
fog light used in adverse weather only
driving light are to be on with high beam only....

the fine for driving with fog lights or driving light is $77 dollars

but adverse means raining or fog or really over cast before a storm....other wise they need to be on.....
i like my lights and fogies on and i voted for it on but i personally dont have em on unless i cruise like we did on the cruise or its a dark street other wise its just my parkers and lights......buy sometimes i like to have em on as a wank factor

Hi,

Cheers mate, interesting to note that it is mandatory in Canada to have daytime running lights switched on.

few countires in europe are doing it

I drive around with my headlights on 24/7....i used to always drive around with my foggies on 24/7 but now one isnt working so i dont....i dunno if its the dark green or the fact my car is lowered but ive had so many people try and take out the front of my car, so anything i can to help them see me i'll do....

change the light globe...get ben to do it tell him not to be so lazyyyy:Derisive:

Theres a wiring issue....it will work sometimes then stop....he temporarily fixed it for me last time....it took me changing the globes three times to figure out it wasnt the globes breaking and there was something else wrong....im a bit slow, bwaaaaahahahaha.... :blush2:

as far as i have seen, my 'driving lights' are pointed to the ground and to the sides, to give me more vision both ways.. but they dont seem to direct up into someones eyes..

so i leave my parkers on and driving lights on during the day sometimes, just because.. i do? lol.. usually on rainy days or overcast.. apparently grey, silver, and green are the most popular cars involved in minor accidents because of their colour blending or something? especially on cloudy/overcast.. so having my parkers and driving lights on during the day (therefore also my back lights) might only just lower the risk, but maybe enough to help me avoid anything!

if you cant take having lights shine in your eyes once every now and then, you shouldnt be on the road.. lol.. it's not like they are super bright during the day and not like they are infact adjusted straight in your face..


but big foggies, man they are blinding no matter what time of day LOL..
