Hi All,

Picture below but there are two lights in the grille on our mini but they are not wired in and weren't when we bought it. There is no disconnected wiring nearby either.

So before I drop in some wiring and a relay how do you tell if they are spots or fogs?

Cheers

Ian

Look like spots.

It's just the beam pattern, aim them squarely at a wall. Spots will produce a round beam, fogs should be wider than they are tall with very little beam pattern above the level of the lamps.

The fluted lenses indicate that they are fog or short-range driving lights. Spot lights are usually a plain or virtually plain lens. Those lights look as though they will have less range than the headlights.
