oh the irony, here we are on a forum with cars that have quite possibly the worst head lights(hids aside) that i've encountered on a car, bemoaning front fogs being used.
I used my front fogs on my old face lift in the absence of any usefull light from the shite projecters that we all know are rubbish unless night brakers are used(didnt know about them at the time).
Personally its the rear fog light i find really irritating on other cars esp in rain.
Agreed re poor Omega headlights-projectors are poor new and next to useless 10 years later...
Add this to the adjuster breaking issue and they are probably the worst feature of the car apart from the early facelift lack of boot opener combined with the daft boot release switch.
I have spent ages trying to get my facelift lights to be acceptable and have had them apart (with lots of help from welung666), cleaned everything, replaced both H1 and H7s with superbrights (Philips Xtreme and Osram Nightbreakers) and then got them properly aligned.
Dipped beam is now "ok" and main beam is "ok to good".
Being able to see safely at night is crucial, but foglights should not come into it as it makes the issue worse for oncoming drivers
I've never understood why all cars not are fitted with superbright headlights as standard-it's a simple, cheap way to improve night driving safety. Obvious really!
