Fog Lamps in Dlx

You guys like it?

Yea...
Awesome...

Thanks mate.

I think i WILL wait till the dealers learn to do their job properly.

Sorry for my being hard if I sound so. But after market guys usually o a better job.

Screw the dealers happiness when u get the chance

All is well now, so I am not complaining. By the way the new bumper has smooth (satin) texture whereas the one from factory has 'matt' texture. Probably they don't have the same equipment that is in the factory for the paint job.

now it is looking cool...

I used my fog lamps last week.. had been to Chail (near Shimla) and got bit in by a light fog on bad roads.. the car performed beautifully.. Logan Rocks

Did you take any pictures?

Have you got a photo of the full bumper showing the Fogs
StU

Yes, I do. I have a picture of it in the gallery section. I'll post one tomorrow again.

Okay Stu, here it is!

It looks great, i will also get the same done , once the dealers are capable of doing a good job

with the Mahindra network you have to wait a long long time.. but Sireesh seems to have donce a decent job finally anyway

Hmmm!
I went to GMS Auto, Andheri, Mumbai today and they said that its not possible to install the fog lamps, atleast by them, in DLE/GLE/GL models. He says so cause according to them, these bumpers have no bracket for the fog lamps unlike the versions with the company fitted ones!
When i told him that i know people who have done so, he says that they may well fall off soon in bad roads which are a standard here in Mumbai ;-) because, he says, they are stuck to the bumper which will hold no good!

Is he the service advisor or mechanic? Frankly speaking he should join a circus and take up the role of a BAFOON.

I spoke about this at the showroom and he was the accessory incharge

Okay, they should put him in the washing department. By the way, my friend has gone today for fitting his set of fog lamps. Will let you people know about the job.

Rajesh - apart from the aesthetics, do the fog lamps enhance visibility at night in normal city/highway conditions. Is there a significant difference? I too would like to have them fixed if its worth the effort >:

I have installed it purely for cosmetic purpose only. I will not be using them under normal conditions. So far I have only turned them on while stationary, to make sure its working.

yes the company fitted fog lamps do enhance visibility to much extent...i use them regularly. now dont know about the visibility provided by rajesh's car lamps........rajesh ..use them under normal conditions to check if they are practical or not

The rating of my fog lamps is 12V35W, whereas the standard ones are 12V55W. My fog lamps may/will be a bit weaker. Hitesh, I'll use the fog lamps when the conditions are right. It may be a nuisance for the other road users if used in normal conditions. The standard headlamps do a good job within the city.

Can you put up some contacts from where I can get the fogs and fittment done?

To me, the fog lamps act as pothole detecting devices, a boon for highway/city driving. also, they make you see small dogs sitting on the road
