RWC items... hrmm fog lamps?

[PaRaDoX]

hey, my car went in for RWC today, only has these items before i get the cert

1x leaking rear shock (purchased 2x new monroe GT gas shocks already for it)
1x Numberplate light not working (globe)
1x Left headlight aim is too high (hes fixing it)
Fog lamps not working???

he said if they're they're they have to work.. wtf :P how is that a item anyway can i get away with just ripping them out till after rwc then fixing them, havnt finished with them yet

but yeah the other issue is when the fog lamps are on the headlights go off, as if back to parkers.. is this normal?

[azkwazere]

Just rip them out.... its like a spare wheel, if its there its an item and has to be road worthy, if its not there, dont worry about it its not an item

oh, the idea of the lamps i guess is that they cut you head lights back to avoid reflection from the fog... the whole dont use high beams in fog theory... guess it reduces the light as much as possible while the lamps are on!

lol ok, well im gonna **** that **** off (the headlight cut) cuz when u put them on u cant see crap anyway, after all i want to use them just at night anyway

lol cheers anyway install the shocks over the weekend and fix 1 globe and i have my self a rwc wooooo

[azkwazere]

thats my guess anyway! it may not be the case............

should just be a little rewiring... itll be like one relay somewhere...

aZk.

[PaRaDoX]

yeah thats what i figure, easy anyway, dont care atm just want the car to have number plates on so i can drive at night

[Emackulation]

I think you go hard done by, O well, atleast she'll be ready soon.

[PaRaDoX]

only problem is im not near there to pick it up till about 8pm so i gotta get my dad to go pick it up, neeed to pay them first soo providing he can get to them with the cash today :P

[Emackulation]

I remember when the VP failed, they only charged me $50.

[PaRaDoX]

meh rarely anything passes on the first go unless its new, not many items so im happy ill have it road worthied & registered by monday!

just glad the cars paid for in cash, and i got some left over.. plus only sold half the things off the calais so far, ive still got parts for sale, good things, bodykits and stuff.. :P surely some commondore kid wants them :P

With the fog lights, i'll be the relay or theres a wire that comes off the relay, and is spliced into the headlight/highbeam wire, so they will turn off when the highbeams are activated. That wire is probably in the wrong place or is shorting somewhere. Just take them off, less hassel and you can fix them later. They won't see the wiring, as its behind the bumper.

Yep unfortantly he's right if there there they have to work i have been told the same thing, I was going to get fogs on my car and have them sit there then wire them later, But i was told if they are there then they must work, Same as if i have 8 airbags they must all be there and working, Maybe you could remove them just for now? And then have them fixed later on after the Road Worthy?.
Funny story my brother had a EF Ghia and he was pulled up by the police one day and told to make them fogs work as they were the cornering lamps and he didn't have them wired like that, So he had to make them work the way they had them from factory, It's pedantic but that's them.

On my last roadworthy I had to refix my rear speakers as they weren't secured enough so not suprising they got you for the fog lamps

As others have said here take them off and put the car through again and it should be fine

When i took my VP for the RWC it came back with a cracked window, And he failed me for it, They had the street where they worked all dug up dirt rocks galore there trucks work equipment etc, And they tried to fail me for something that happen on there road while they had it He let me go in the end but it took a fight, But i wonder why?.
