Wipac NAS rear lights
Thurbs - 24/2/11 at 06:41 PM

Hi all,
Does anybody know if the Wipac NAS fog light is different from the stop tail lights, just opened up the set I got and they all look the same and have the same part number on them.
I know the fog light has to be higher intensity than tail lights is this achieved with the same light using a higher wattage bulb ??
Really don't want to fail my up coming IVA on something this dim !!!!!
many thanks
Andy

Fog light should have B or F adjacent to the E-mark.

No, same 21 watt bulb but with different shape reflector, hence different markings.

Tail lights are normally 5w and brake and fog are 21w but the fog light should have a different lense pattern/reflector.

Sorry, that is what i meant but misread 'tail' as brake as that is what are being sold as fogs in this situation(in fact it'll be a dual lamp suitable for tail and/or brake i sUspect. Tail is 5w, in this case probably a dual filament bulb with the stop.
