My car is undergoing a complete re-paint at the moment, I will be replacing the fog lights and I have seen these Yellow Fog Lights avaiable from Schmiedman once fitted would they pass a MOT Test?

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

Front fogs are not a MOT testable item , so any colour you want. Why would you want people to think you/your turd was French

This is true.They do not test front fogs.
If you fitted them they should be legal to use on the road as you can have whote or yellow fog lights showing but no other colours.

I'm doing my headlights with yellow lamin-x too.
The reason? I want my e30 to look fashionable. (now now)

i laminex'd yellow my front fogs. pretty quick and easy aswell, just make sure you slap on loads of soapy water before you start. in the touring cover performance bmw there is a pic of black e30 with a roof rack and yellow laminexed lights, indicators and fogs. looks really good!
heres the best pic ive found so far...
stepping aside from the lights this is one mean looking E30. its sitting pretty low on those massive hoops!

The fact that performance BMW have featured a car with yellow lights should be a good enough reason for anyone considering this sad look to reconsider !

lol performance bmw is ok. the main thing that bugs me about it is the way they photoshop everything to death, poorly. otherwise its not too bad and beats reading the back of the empty air freshener bottle on the can at work......

You don't actually see many yellow lights over here any more. Very rare in fact.

Do whatever you want, it is your car! Should pass a mot fine, if not I dont think itll take you long to swap them out for your stock ones or simply just remove them for the mot - only rear fog is mandatory
Just do it to piss most of the people off on this forum

I love to see people molesting cars, it gives me something to laugh at and increases the value of my nice standard cars , win win win !

Hardly think some yellow fog lights on one e30 will increase the value of every standard e30 in the country....

The yellow lights are seldom added in isolation..........
