    Rear fog lights...

    I've ripped the dangly down rear fog light off and as I off-road it I don't want to replace it. Instead I'd like to fit a couple into the space taken up by the rear reflectors (not sure that the US version has them, hence posting here). Question is, does anyone know of any red fogs that will fit there? I was looking at Land Rover rear lights but can't work out if they fit?!?

    Thanks

    I don't know about fog lights, but there have been several who've converted the rear reflectors to 2" LED clearance lights that come on as brake lights.

    MSHardeman & Little Beast come most readily to mind.

    Here ya go...

    Yea, that has been on my round to it plate for a while. Am thinking the left one clear white LED as a sup backup light and the right a clear red LED as a rear fog. Something like this: http://store.vehiclelight.com/1035rc.html Think you will still need some type of rear reflector to pass a MOT

    I did do this mod and it has held up well for the past two or three years. The lights I used are just brake lights, but I would like to switch them over to running/brake lights. Etlsport, if you read this could you try and find some info on the lights that you used because the link to the lights in the thread posted by dub doesn't work anymore.

    Thanks.

    Just a question, but why would anyone need rear fog lights ? Does anyone besides me really drive that fast backwards ?
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..

    Of course.

    Just make sure you put yours on the inside. The outside of yours is reserved for the cargo light.

    I got turned onto them in the early 80's in England and they are a god sent when driving in heavy fog. I DON'T like the rear fog that is part of the tail light cluster but when seperated as nick is talking about, they are brill

    Hi - the easiest way to convert a JDM to having a rear fog is to sick a red 21 watt bulb in the o/s reversing light and redo the wiring
    cheers
    Steve
    UPDATE - just went through the MOT but the tester suggested a red LED rather than a bulb as the bulb is showing a little more pink than red lol
    cheers
