Just bought a pair of Lucas lamps, one fog and one spot. Is there a convention (or even a logical reason) for which type of lamp goes at which side of the front bumper?

For single lamps on the front, fog left, spot right. The idea is that a single front fog helps you see the road edge, pedestrians, etc more easily and the spot is intended to illuminate more of the road ahead (plus it balances the look!)

Legally, they need to be paired. The only lights that don't need to be paired are rear fogs.

Not so:http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/made About halfway down:

SCHEDULE 6

1. Number–

(a) Any vehicle not covered by sub-paragraph (b):
No requirement

(b) A motor vehicle, other than a motor bicycle or motor bicycle combination, first used on or after 1st April 1991:

Thanks for the replies, gents. Very informative.
