Now im all for active Safety but I fail to see how a 1 fog light can help anything when corning? Its not as if they even turn slightly when cornering to peer around whatever they are going round.

I've not heard of or seen these before, but they don't sound like a bad idea when more than a certain amount of lock is applied... Headlights are aimed a considerable distance in front of the car, so when you're turning sharply enough, they don't actually illuminate where you're going. Front foglights are aimed very close to the car and cover a very wide outwards angle, hence when turning sharply they would actually be useful (I've only ever found them useful ONCE before, when visibility was utterly non-existent and I couldn't even tell how close to the edge of the road I was...)

I must say that when I was driving a hired Seat Leon is Spain this fog light feature did help somewhat on tight hilly turns - it helped illuminate possible obstructions in the road.

These:



are Angel Eyes lights, as seen on Audis, look kinda naff if you ask me and dont really serve a purpose I cant imagine.

I thought you were referring to the random stuck on ones that Ive seen on a couple of porsches. if you are, yes theyre crap too!

If I had to drive a car with those things on, I think I'd rather rip 'em out and put an EL strip in their place...

Shirley I can't be the only one who sees these strings of leds and thinks "anal beads"? (Hoping to change that here of course )

Never entered my mind, maybe it will tomorrow.

Then again, I don't want them entering me at all!

[sockpuppet]

I'd like to see (and not use) some LED anal beads

[puggy]

I have seen illuminated anal beads and seen them being used
(yes i know i spend too much time on alternative web sites )

........................You know when you dont follow a thread from the start, but you just read the last post because it sounds interesting?
Well I just did that.

Fairy lights to glow in the dark anal beads in less than 25 posts.
Awesome.

My work here is done

that just made me piss myself laughing

Just had some dickeye in a Insignia remind of this fred....

Was just now cruising along behind a A3 which was wanting to turn right at the next junction when Mr Insignia zoomed past overtaking me then realising the A3 was turning right nipped in the gap between us with his brake lights flashing really fast, looked kinda cool a lot better than in some cars that the hazard lights flash which is daft when they brake hard.

Guessing that system only works with LED lights.

Yes, the flashing rears is supposed to warn of heavy braking.

You were lucky not to be dazzled by the Insignia's seemingly super-mega-bright front facing DRL's
