Why not ask your local garda station

Never opened
I'm just going to stick them on the A bar and see what happens and if i don't get pulled for them then i will move them lower down and mount and of to the side

Never opened

Not enough interest perhaps

Forward facing fog lamps can be yellow or white. Some drivers find that yellow lamps give less reflective glare in foggy conditions, however there is no scientific proof that yellow light performs any better than white light in poor visibility.

Mounting your fogs on the roof could be against the law. Front fogs must be mounted symmetrically on the front of your vehicle, no more than 400mm in from the sides and no more than 1200mm above the ground.

Note: European Vehicle Harmonization regulations should mean that the UK regs are similar if not identical to those of most EU countries.

I wouldn't worry about been stopped in Ireland for having yellow fog lights, look around you on an average day and see how many cars are driving with their fog lights on permanently, and they never get stopped, go for it Tom be a rebel , they might even open up the station again for you

I have stuck them on the A bar for now look odd on the van but so far i havn't meet the law and my police station is still closed and don't worry they where never going on the roof i have plans for that
