Fog lights

[Ro88ygh]

Anyone fitted the roewe in fog lights from aliexpress?

Yup

Pretty sure someone here has - spoke about it before I think. I fancy these but no way to activate other than connect to main beam. Unless an indicator stalk from a different region could be fitted and ECU/wiring configured

Hi
I think I’ve seen them on your car in this forum
Is there any chance you have any photos of the side view to see how far they stick out
Cheers

Piggy back them off the rear window heater fuse?

The indicators are wired up as you'd expect, the DRLs are wired to the main DRLs and the two fog/spots are wired to the main beam.

Couldn't be bothered to put new switches etc in for front fog.

Does the existing trim section just pop off or are these just over the top?

I was thinking the fog light could be wired to the rear fog light but finding that cable could be a pain depending on how/where the wiring loom runs.

Over the top.

Do they light up the floor on front corners? I find there's a dead spot when turning in the dark

These look like daylight running lights and not proper fog/driving lights. Most of these don't provide a proper illumination pattern and giving the side illumination that proper fog lights do. Perhaps someone can verify this.

There is an OEM version but the bulb doesn’t look anything special so light output may be limited
