Title: 4 stop lights? for poss fog light conversion??which where?
Post by: scooby_si on January 07, 2004, 08:22:09 AM
now i had already purchased a sleek add on to be my rear fog but now i\'m told mine has 4 stop lights which can easily be used for a fog light conversion?
Now i\'m confused, which i admit is easy enough to do at the best of times:confused: lol & apologies if this was answered previously my short term memory loss is strong ;)  but can you identify which lights these are in the picture ie which is indicator, brake & side lights & therefore wot these "four stop lights" are???? I know where the reverse lights are at least (i think!)

After the SVA test, Motormall converted my driver\'s side reversing light to a fog light.  Works fine and TBH the one reversing light still provides sufficient light.

A/B are side/brake lights.
C is an indicator.

As said, after the SVA convert one of the reversing lights to a fog lights is the best thing imho.

As per GaryS & Lee - motormall converted my offside reversing light.  Switch is on the centre console nearest to the driver.  (don\'t know what the switch did before \'cos they did it all  before I picked the car up).  It\'s bright enough to make me think it\'s a proper fog light, rather than just a coloured lens......

Yes cheers peaps i was aware they can do reverse lights but i really want to avoid that & do as i say have a sleek light which can just go on the underside but it was their comment about doing one of the 4 stop lights which had me confused cause i had just presumed there was 3 brake lights & 2 sidelights + indicators as confirmed by your above posts so aint got a clue wot their on about now (http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/dvv/sconf.gif)

A and B are tail lights.  A and B are also Brake lights, so you have 5 brake lights in total.

I\'d guess they are going to disconnect both A lights, and then re-wire the brake element of A on the right as a fog light only, leaving you two tail lights, 3 brake lights and a fog light!

Hope that hasn\'t confused you even more! :rollin

current cunning plan is sumin along the lines of mottormall can do a twin eliment light or sumin so fog light will be subtle & part of normal lights when required without loosing any reversing illumination etc. Sounds pucker & i\'ve heard it\'s schweeeeeeeeeeet (http://mysmilies.creativesell.net/contrib/edoom/biggerGrin.gif)
