Post by: chrisJDM on March 20, 2006, 12:48:53 PM
MY FD has a really annoying gay fog light on the back, a big square thing that sticks out right next to the exhaust, i want to relocate it and people hav suggested 2 places shown in the pic, which would be best? and easiest? would it pass a mot ok? wot have other people done? i havent seen any others with crap fog lights on the back like mine.

the bottom one will be the best in my opinion, thats where i did mine and it has passed an mot fine, its very easy to take the existing cable that goes to your horrible little box and take it to there, no need to remove the bumper, just pop the light out, cut the reverse light cable and connect to the cables from your box after i had rewired it i painted the lense red with lense paint from halfords, took less than half an hour..
