IF your talking about the clear lights below the bumper of the Commodore SS series from say VT-VX model range, these are fog lights. Not good ones, but they are fogs!

And no, they are not European Code and would not be allowed on as standard fitment to any EU (or ECE world) jurisdiction vehicle. THANKFULLY they have been replaced with compliant lamps on the current model, complaints of glare should reduce.


347 Stoker: "Mine is the Fools that just refuse to stay in the left lane on the freeway here in Brissy".

The following text has again been submitted for your learner driver manual "Your Keys to Driving in QLD".

"Do not drive in the right lane unless overtaking, avoiding an obstruction
or travelling in congested traffic. On lengths with three or more lanes,
use the left lane, merge to the middle lanes as required to pass slower
traffic. Move back to the left lane once you have passed the slower
traffic, without cutting in".

That text is European infant stuff, it is shown in the NSW Road Users Handbook (past 7 years), it was refused by QLD Transport last year who continue to rely on the simplistic 'keep left'. Such lane discipline-behaviour really needs to be spelt out. Keeping middle is **** poor driving, reduces road efficiency, but is 'comfortable' for the ignorant and dumb.

It might be accepted this year, but I doubt it, too much sun...
