Fog Lights

Post by Bill »

I have had a pair of Fog lights for the last 20 years and in that time only one has worked and and this has been ok for WOF as you apparently only need 1 working -- this morning I struck a very officious bloke who insisted that they both need to work , although all the other chaps over the years have said its ok -- VTNZ.

Apparently, if you have them on, they need to work. Take them off and you'll pass. :roll:

Well when you are referring to rules, it changes.
Better have it done, both of them.
