Auxiliary Beams/Working lamps

[Hicarus]

UK vehicle type approval requires one rear facing red lensed light of 25 Watts (equivalent) on the offside rear of the vehicle controlled by the driver by an illuminated switch and relay which drops the circuit when the headlights are turned off and/or engine stopped. That's so they don't get forgotten by Driver Prune. If they're "on" the driver must have turned them on and so can be nailed by the cops for using them when they're not needed (BMW style Boston Boy! - your cops should nail 'em!). Same for front fog lights in UK - but none of that seems to interest our fuzz!
My guess is that Ineos have built them into that single LED cluster back light. makes me wonder whether we just get the one fog light offside and reverse light nearside. Anyone any idea?

Reverse lights appear to be on both sides.

That's the rear view I was hunting for...... Thanks.
Looks like the stop/tail set is the twin set LEDs with reverse on the outer ring. But the bit I was hunting for is those little red bits at number plate level. They look like the rear fog lights.

Perhaps, but to me they look like reflectors. But, we don't have rear fog lights here in the USA, aside from the occasional car imported by a returning military member.

A long while back, but my 04 DII had rear fogs - there was a toggle switch on the dash. Not required in US, but LR did not remove the feature.

Land rovers do over here……… :/

Hi @Eric
You need to ask someone else - I didn't post about rear fogs being mandatory. I live in the U.S. and am not too bothered about what is or is not required in the UK

Sorry, finger in the wrong place, on the phone !

Don't look bright enough will have to put brighter ones on so camera works in the dark.

WTH is "Home and Away lighting"?

the headlights are interchangeable between right and left. Depending whether you’re in a country that drives on the right side or left side of the road, position/direction of the beam changes to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
… I think

perfect.
and iron floats, but only uphill

"Headlamps are sided LH and RH – not interchangeable" ~ from one of our agents in residence:

Ask the dealer Halliwell Jones Chester UK Q&A Thread

I have never seen it on the price list in Germany. I would order it in a minute as I wouldn’t had to redesign the cable of my portable compressor. Yes ~ there can only be confusion as to whether it's standard equipment, or bundled in one of the options. I think it may be included in the high...

Thanks for correction

Looks like they have changed the labelling on the switch for the auxiliary high beams from “Working” to “Aux”.

That “Level” control for the Aux/Driving Lights is a fantastic feature for light control when driving in gullies and hill country.

I have that feature on my 1982 Porsche 928! Adjust it according to vehicle load.
Very old school (though mine's vacuum operated)

Is it for auxiliaries though? I think it’s probably for the main headlamps to adjust when towing etc to ensure you aren’t dazzling oncoming drivers.

bit inconvenient to have to carry a Hoover around

My assumption is that the “Level” control is for the main headlights.

That would be my view, it's for the main beam

But - the cachet of owning a Porsche Hoover makes it worth it.
People peer in when stopped at the traffic lights and just sigh at their poorer life choices
