Heh, yeah I think you are only allowed 55W on low beam (or is it 50W) and 60W on high beam. So by having your foglights on you have more than the low beam wattage beaming out of your car, making them high beams and thus illegal.

I'm sure we could do a dodgy with some LED's or something, but doubt Mr Plod will like that excuse
