Mates got a brand new C Class AMG 2014 and was wondering how to keep the bottom day glows on when it goes dark. Anybody know how to?

Also can normal 501 bulbs be used or have to be can us error free or whatever?

Oh right, are they the ones that are near where the fog lights would be? If so, I imagine they aren't single bulbs but an entire strip. Like the eBay ones but better.

Those, in conjunction with dashboards that light up all the time, appear to be one of the main reasons why so many retards drive about without their lights on.

Idiots.

The DRL's on my car stay on at night, but adjust the brightness to be below the legal limit.

I'll just go ahead and add Mercedes C Class to the list of cars to which the Honda CR-Z 1.5 GT Hybrid is superior.

I drive with my fog lights on in the day now as i like people to think i have DRL's

Foglights look cool on the corrado as they are in a cool place, which is cool.

Surely doesn't matter? As only
Time doesn't fogs should be on is when is foggy, in which case you should have rears on anyway?

Front fogs and sidelights seem to be the choice for youths around here.

Unsure why. Makes you look like a retard.

Yup. Pricks that want attention.

Seem to think cars look nicer with extra lights, I constantly flash mine at people that have them on. I assume everybody with them on needs reminding

Take the rear fog bulbs out Munch so you can be a fog wanker.

I use my "fogs" (read driving lights) when visibility is aided in the dark, especially round these parts in Forrest woodlands where it enables you to accurately see the sides of the road low down.

This has so far saved a domestic cat, a fax and countless rabbits from annihilation
