They look like LED style fog lights to me, hopefully somebody else will tell you more.

Hi. As far I am aware the new 250 does not come with front fogs....

Andy, can you have a look if there is a switch to put them on and if there is, if its the LED's that come on ?

says on the eguide the switch is where the current one on the meg is, i.e. indicator stalk. But then the eguide shows pics of the normal coupe, not the RS.

I don't think the DRLs double as fogs, but I cant' say for sure. Shouldnt do, given the vastly different purposes of each light, and I'm sure LEDs only work at one level of brightness.

I think your right Arun, but thought it may be worth a check.

Definitely, as you'd hope/assume fogs would be a standard feature of the Sport (silly assumption, I know, given how wierdly some cars are specced)

Hi.
As I thought. There is no switch for front fogs. The daytime leds turn off as soon as you turn the headlights on..Will double check with Renault though as soon as they answer the phone. Snow on the line?

wasn't such a stupid question after all!
Can't believe it doesn't have fogs...

Hi.
Not sure if Viz pack with Xenons compensate for this? Still waiting a response from Renault. Found out we are not to be specialist dealer...
Bummer!!!

Andy - probs a daft question ... but whats a specialist dealer? :)

Hi.
Only 12 dealers within the UK have been selected as specialists for the Renaultsport product. Do not see any of those answering questions here, or is it me being bitter?????????

Its not you being bitter

but they may find out that most renaultsports may be purchased through yourself!

Its a strange one why the LED's dont stay on while headlights are on - probably because of the law (They can dazzle on-coming vehicals) Yeah right!

So who are the 12 dealerships. I bet F Cross & Sons in S***thorpe are one of them.............which will be ironic cause they haven't got a clue what they're selling or servicing!

I'd be bitter Andy. It's not like Wests have been proved to be a favourite with RS customers again and again is it.....................?!

andyc@wests

13-01-2010, 17:28:20

It is strange. My daytime driving lights on my current coupe, stay on with the headlights on or off. This is to do with the auto light sensor. Still no answer from Renault.
Are you joining us for a bacon butty? Car will be on the road in the afternoon.

Not sure who has been selected yet!

I will still try my best to help out regardless......And take orders.

Would you really miss front fogs??

woodsey

13-01-2010, 17:38:52

Whats the post code Andy I might pop up for the day got nothing better to do be good to introduce my self and see your demo as my local dealer being funny about me seeing there. Dont worry specialist dealer or not I will be ordering with you in the future.

13-01-2010, 17:39:11

I might be showing my age, but I havn't used mine in 20 years of driving....

TuftySi

13-01-2010, 17:42:09

Think i've turned my front fogs on maybe 3 times in 3 years.... and one of those was to make sure they worked :) ... They do make the car look a bit better I guess. I much prefer the LED's though.

andyc@wests

13-01-2010, 22:33:56

Wests will still be Meganesports specialist dealer :)
