Default Foglight mod question....

I was up in Vancouver, B.C. a couple weeks ago for The Great Canadian VW show. I remember seeing A4s running around with their fogs lights on independent from the headlights (fogs on, headlights off). I saw this on practically every A4 there. Is it possible that the Canadian A4's have the "european" relay?

Can anyone from The Great White North comment?

It's possible. They might not have the no just fog law like we do in the states.

Default Don't know for sure, but....

i would guess that they use them as daytime running lamps, because you have to have your lights on at all times in Canada.

Default First of all, when was it??? Damn! Secondly,

all our cars must have DRL's (daytime running lights) which i guess must be white since the signal lights stay on too (not sure about this part), so the fogs come on automatically when you start the car (this is definite). Only when you turn on the lights, do they go out automatically, and then you can have them on too.

PS where do you live? A bunch of us are from Vancouver here.

Default Great Canadian?? It was Sunday, the 19th of August. I live in Portland and came up...

the night before. Beautiful country you have up there. Well, all except for Richmond

It was daytime so it was hard to tell that the marker lights were on too.

Default fogs are on once you start engine...

its daytime running lights.. but turn off when you turn on the headlights... then you could also turn on the fogs as well...

Default then they go out again...

i did notice that once you think you have the front of the car lit up (driving lights and fog lights) then want to turn on the high beams, the fogs go off again.
must do this to save gas.
