sch.2-sec.66 Front fog lights
A pair of front fog lights may be fitted to a heavy motor vehicle. A pair of front fog lights fitted to a heavy motor vehicle with 4 or more wheels must have the centre of each light not more than 400mm from the nearer side of the vehicle unless the centres of the lights are at least 600mm apart. If the top of a front fog light fitted to a heavy motor vehicle is higher than the top of any low-beam headlight on the vehicle, the centre of the fog light must not be higher than the centre of the low-beam headlight. A front fog light fitted to a heavy motor vehicle must— when on— project white or yellow light in front of the vehicle; and be a low-beam light; and be able to be operated independently of any headlight; and be fitted so the light from it does not reflect off the vehicle into the driver’s eyes while in the normal driving position.
