led fogs on 451

[mr_kkt]

my new led foglights not wired yet but ive fitted them in position i like them

before



after

will they be bright enough for them to be used as fog lights?

[mr_kkt]

probably not planning on using them as drl but i dnt care how bright just look cool

do you want them to stay on all the time or switch off when you switch your lights on?

[mr_kkt]

want them on all the time if its legal which i believe it is what do i need to wire them to side lights

dont know, but what id do it wire them in a way that they switch off when your side lights come on

DRLs must legally be no brighter than 800 candela and I suspect these will be. Therefore they'll be seen as sidelights but that causes more legal problems as I believe you are only allowed to display 2 lights (or 2 banks of leds) in 1 position on each side of the car.
If you have these and the standard side lights, you have too many lights in too many positions. So you remove the standard sidelights right? Nope, you could have problems there too as they are supposed to be a certain distance from the edge of the car to denote its width.

At the end of the day, if they over a certain brightness and produce any type of glare to on coming traffic you will be unable to use them unless your forward vision is severely restricted. You aren't even legally allowed to have your fog lights on in clear weather if you are parked up.

Yeah, as per what evilution said, you can only wire them up in two ways.

Fog lights; manually switched, only when you have your dipped beam on.

Driving lights; manually switched, only when you have your main beam on.

Anything else is classed as illegal.

If you require any advice wiring these up, give me a shout.

I suspect that the product you bought is made by "Ring", so they should have a wiring and legislation guide with them.
