I think they supply instructions... but you can always ask...

A single pole changeover relay and an illiminated switch with some cable and the diagram below will be more than enough for MOT purposes, the bonus been no add on fog light or loss of reverse light.

Jeff,

 

with the new MOT regs will this still be OK.... from what I could see you can't use the same bulb that is currently in use for tail or break light for a fog.

 

I hope I'm wrong as that would make it for a few people's set-ups.

Interestingly some cars albeit older ones had their fog lights similarly wired from new, but of course legislation changes so maybe your quite correct in your understanding of the "new" rules, but like everything MOT wise its down to the tester on the day, this is why it will be even more important to use a tester who knows the game as it were, not to bend the rules but to understand the limitations they impose on older cars and to apply some of the all too rare commodity these days better known as "common sense".

should do as jeff said but stick an extra LED bulb in the reverse panel like i did. do it that way and your rear lights will still look cool at night and still keep both reverse lights :)

 

 

 

yeah, I did the same as you but on both sides....

 

I just looked up the VOSA regs on rear fogs and Jeff is correct that would pass fine...

Yeah i was going to do that but i thought that some dumb people would think my brake lights are stuck on. especially around here :lol:

I meant both sides of the reverse lights.... :) I didn't do the break light at all..

yeah thats what i ment :)

LOL.. Ah I see... yes.... I was a touch confuse by the "some dumb people would think my brake lights are stuck on. especially around here"

 

I obviously underestimated the dumbness (if that's a word) of some of your locals...... :lol:

ok thanks but how do you get a red light for the fogs then a clear one for reverse

 

cheers trev

Separate bulb holder and a red bulb or led bulb in the same housing as the reverse lights.

As Graham said but i used 2x 32led red bulbs to make it super bright :)
