All in one rear lights
Hi Guys,
If i bought a couple of these, would i be able to turn one of the reverse lights into a fog light instead with a red bulb?
It needs to be able to pass an IVA...

fog light lens has to be marked with an F so, i imagine it won't be possible, as they'd have made it with reverse in mind... but check the
lens

I'd guess at no because the fog needs to have a specific lens pattern which I can't imagen that reverse bit has.
People have failed with 'fog lights' that they had bought due to the lens..
Could be wrong though!

Hmm thought that might be the case, thanks guys!
Steve, thanks for the offer but i guess i should probably have a fog light, need a reverse light as well so might as well get a matching pair!

A reverse light is also mandatory.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Even if you can you'll fail. You need minimum separation of 100mm between rear fog and brake lights

Can't you just mount a fog light under the rear panel, as some Caterhams do? They swivel, so you can get the required IVA correct angle. No need
to pierce your back panel.
