Can MG4 cars have fog lights?
the main light of the car is too dark, has anyone upgraded their car? can help me. the model as the picture is quite nice

Quick answer no. Perhaps your headlights need adjusting. There is a thread on how to do it here or visit your dealer.

The light from traditional headlights on main beam would spread out in a cone shape and light up as much of the sky as it would the road.
Fog lights were developed to provide light that was low down so went under the fog and didn't reflect back into the driver's eyes.
Modern led lights send out a flat topped beam removing the necessity to have fog lights.

I want the beam range to be over 800m, so I need to install additional lights.

Just wondering why you need to see half a mile ahead?

when you are in an area without lighting system. Cars with lights like this ensure safety.

Easiest way to increase the area you can light up is to just add some spots or a lightbar.

Something like this will mount behind your license plate, wouldn’t know about wiring it up but a lot of people diy this stuff.

Can you still buy 100W KC Daylighters? My DH had those on an RS2000 in the 1980's

Edited to add: Yes you can..

About the same time I put a pair of 100W Cibie Super Oscars on the front of my Astra diesel van! Bright doesn't come near describing them

KC Daylighters and Cibie's are great. However technology moves on, and as recently proved to me by a friend, LASER Led light bars are incredible. Especially their Rally spec lights. See their website here:

These are so bright I thought I was being abducted by aliens!

Right, so i want to add lights to increase brightness, but it has to be aesthetic

If you don’t want anything to stick out from the car, I suppose the only option left is to cut into the bumper and mount the lights that way. As far as I know there are no pre-made plug and play replacement units that click in anywhere.

Cibie's on an MG look aesthetic to me

It's so shocking to see a Chinese ad/product description that is actually showing a real test and just just the same picture with some black painted at the termination line.

And I would for sure use that kind of thing if I knew it wasn't illegal or hard to change. That is exactly what I how I want my headlights termination line to behave.

Foglights would be the only reason that I would install "fang".

I could easily get behind fangs if they had actual practical use, so either turning signal repetitor (since onf SR models we don't have the vertical one) and/or fog lights.

Not like fangs then?

 

[Vaasref]

I meant, the placement would be perfect, low and on the sides. As for the format, I don't know if that if the constrains of fangs could be worked around with high powered LED or LEP, but they are exactly in the airflow, so that would certainly handle a lot of the cooling issues.

But yeah, a single thicker fin would probably be more realistic.
