    On the base model 6's its a foglight. As the Luxury Sports Hatch and MPS models have external fog lights, they're blanked.

    Put foglights in there cos then the cops can't fine you for using foglights. Thats what I have thought about since the cops started fining people for driving with foglights on when there is no fog.

    The question is, why drive with foglights on? I don't understand why people do this

    I don't know about you guys but I have had a few silver cars and its always on my mind about visibilty when overcast or raining, so I use my foglights in fog or heavy rain (but not when I am close behind someone.

    I got caught behind a Merc SLK the other night and he insisted on using his rear foglight. It was pretty blinding and made me question why they're at all allowed in Australia.

    I changed mine our to LEDS. No were near as bright. I use them in place of DRL's.

    In my work car days, i had the headlights on full time. But I'm fearful of the cost to replace the bulb/element on the Bi-Xenons. So I run with fogs instead. I am technically breaking the law, but no one has hassled me for having them on. Probably because they not blinding bright.

    I used to drive with mine on because they look cool. No other reason. It is a bit of wank factor, but hey, so is having a set of wheels on a car though.

    with the standard globes they are no blinding, Holden foglights are though.

    UNless it is bad weather I haven't driven with mine on since they bought the laws in in SA stating it is illegal.

    I use my foglights very occasionally in heavy fog when driving to work in Canberra but otherwise never turn them on. I feel theyre best only for use in fog at night to see the road better, not for visibility of your car for other motorists. Just headlights suffices for visibility.

    Rear foglights are sooo bright and very distracting :/ been stuck behind a few people who have them on at night in clear weather >_>
