and just wired to dip setting.
Is that legal? I thought spots had to be wired so they only worked on main beam?
I think you're right about that Tim.
As I understand it, auxiliary spots or driving lights must be wired via the main beam.
Fog lights can be wired separately but must only be used at times of low visibility which I believe is usually taken to be less than about 100m.
I've never been tempted to fit spot lights because main beam is more than adequate for road driving and you can't use them on dipped beam anyway. ( I hope I've got that right )
If they can legally be used with dipped beam then I would be tempted.
However nothing beat the look of 4 giant Cibie Oscars on the front of the MK1 Escorts back in the days of the Motoring News Rally Championship.
Might look a bit silly on my 4/4 though.
