Fog/cornering lights led

[Danoid]

I’ve got a 2016 sel and has halogen fog flights and was thinking of upgrading these to LED but would I lose the dimming cabaility?

 

If anyone has done this and it works can you tell me which bulbs you got?

 

LED should still dim just like the interior lights but I’m sure i read somewhere it might be lost

Have a look at Gizmo's pinned thread in main section first post about fog lights.

I saw that but quite old now but he said on there it doesn’t dim, but wasn’t sure if things have changed

I think it depends on the LED. For instance footwell can be dimmed though using LEDs...

Unfortunately, I can't answer for fog lights since I've changed mine for MTECH Superwhite bulbs which are whiter than OEM ones, but still halogen ones.

Yeah I might just end up sticking with halogen tbh but do as you did and get whiter.

 

i’m surprised more people haven’t tried changing to led

@Danoid - why is it a requirement that u want the foglight to dim?

It’s only that it does it as standard with the halogens, dim might not the correct word but as you know when it turns on it’s gracefully rather than instant on, same with when it goes off it dims nicely until it’s off.

 

So I’d like to keep it doing the dimming rather than instant on/off as I can imagine that’ll be annoying to me and other people on the road

They are annoying as standard.

Does make up for people that do not indicate though as it gives a clue they are cornering.

But then if they need extra light to see corners and there is nobody to annoy the Full Beam might as well be on not Cornering Fox lights.

This is a EU allowed thing that should never have been approved in the UK IMO.   If Fog Lights really, there is no fog.

hard on/off doesn't look good with corner lights, had to code them always on

Ah having fog lights on unnecessarily is illegal in UK (never bloody enforced though!)

[Ootohere]

@Danoid  Certainly attempts at enforcement by officers of the law on drivers of Mk2 Fabia vRS where the muppets did not know or believe that the DRL,s on which are the Side Light units but not dim when DRL,s.

There are a few threads on that from a decade back.   There are no Fog Lights on them.  The Skoda Brochure says there is and so did sales staff, until you ask the Police Officer or the salesperson where the Front Fog Light switch is.

 

Then there are the MOT testers failing the Mk2 vRS Fabia because the 'Blue Dummy' bulb in the headlight does not work, no side lights.

Ignorant of the Sidelight / DRL,s they fail the car.   Some even try replacing the Blue Dummy Bulb in the headlight unit.
