fog lamps/yellow Fog lights may not be banned as such.
I remember some santro's sporting yellow ones. old santro's though, not sure which year.
What is banned by law is fixing any part that doesn't come with the car or the manufacturer doesnt approve, basically it covers a very broad spectrum of things.
This inculdes all extra fitting.
I'd hooked up a pair of 6 volt FIAMM horns from my JAWA on my kine, using a bracket on the front shield, got booked the third day, got to know about this "no extra fitting", rule that day, I came around the problem by installing them under the foot board, they heard the horns blast but didnt know which automobile made the noise(never got booked since)
coming to FOG LAMPS, the huge spot light mounted on the bumper or under through a bracket under the hood, kind of fog lamps may be what the dealer refered too, these, usually seen on Jeeps, Ambassadors, even ocatavia's...some gypsy's have it mounted on the roof!
Guys must have seen the "HELLA"(one kind) white cover it sports, as a kid i thought they were horns....there ones have a very bright blinding beam, may be thats why the ban is taken seriously by the cops at places. How ever, 2 qualis cars have it right in my building, and their owners travel a lot by road intra city and inter state.
By my experience, if cops can notice something that for sure looks like is been attached later, it is fined.
BTW- I always drive the Ikon only with the fog lamps & parking lights on.....Makes car look damn good! |
