    Default Do the 2020 RTs (base) come standard with fog lights?

    I must have missed it somewhere in my forum search but do the 2020 RT base models come with fog lights? If so, are they LEDs like the headlights? If not, is there an aftermarket supplier for these? I would assume the fog lights (if there are any) would be in the same light bar that the headlights are in.

    TIA

    No fog lights - the light bar has low and high beam LEDs

    Photo shows low beam

    I haven't searched for fog lights but I'm sure Google would be your friend

    Google didn't come up with anything other than that extra light at the bottom. How well does that work? Is it just for show or does it help your night time vision?

    The aux light does put light close on road and the sides. A bit pricey but plug n play.I'm glad I have it.

    Hi - did my fun night ride - same as poster woods above noted with BRP lights, my lights are very very bright and light up directly in front of bike and out a ways on road, as well as sides.

    I can't really tell how far in front they project because they blend in with low beams of headlights - plus u cannot run them separately from headlights.

    Since the riding position on the RT is that we sit on it up high, I think these lights prove a useful function in day for cagers and night riding for cagers and oneself.

    Also, since the lights are so low I didn't get any flashing of lights from cagers.

    BRP website says their fog lights work for all RTs - expensive

    RT and RT limited seem the same to me other than add-ons that come with Limited. Price of all add-ons bought separately make the Limited cost effective.

    You cannot have to many lights.

    Yes, they are turn signals also.

    If I was installing it again, I'm sure I could do it in far less time maybe 2.5 hours total. Much of the time I spent on this project was learning how to work on the 2020 RT, how to jack it up, how to remove panels, etc, etc.
