I used the back part and the guts of the caravan light as per pic £5.49. drilled one 12mm hole in the back, I then removed the reverse light. I then wired a single  swithed live feed from the new switch in the center concol. which is feed from the front fog lamp switch, relay for the fogs can take another light so no problem there. I then removed the large nut behind the reverse light. leaving a long stud to bolt the cararvan back part and at the same time pick up the Neg/earth for the light.
Pass the light  through the the reverase light aperture which is tight!!!
Bolt light in ensuring good neg/earth connection, test light via new switch.
I then scored out a two/three inch by one inch square in the back plate with a stanley knife, be care full with the knife guys, just keep on scoring and it will finally come, this was the hardest part of the job.

Lee1boy, Must say that your job looks alot neater than the usual hanging floodlights the importers fit!!

Nice job

You could rip a reflector to bits (looks good though, neat job if you can do it that well) or what I did.
Drop wiring in from the dash for a fog light or use whats there.  snip your offside reversing light wires and splice the fog wiring in instead.  Stick a hyperbright red l.e.d. array bulb replacement in from ebay.
Daytime it looks stock, but nighttime/fog PRESTO it your stealth fog light.

I demand some positive feedback!
What can I say - I\'m an attention junkie - didn\'t the RX give it away?! :evillaugh

Yep, I did something similar, red lens in the offside reversing light position :)

both ideas are ace inventions i must say lads..Trouble is that i need both reverse lamps cus it is dark where i live and the reverse lamps help out. i just made a z shaped bracket and attached one end to the fueltank bolt, then attached the other end to the foglamp. When mot times comes, i fit the foglamp to get it passed, then remove it till next year for mot time again :evillaugh

I think il get fed up keep refitting and removing every year so looks like either converting the center brake light or buying an add on led brake light to use as a fog lamp.

My application does not effect the reverse light.

Lee1boy, on the underside of the foglight switch what are the connections for +/- in and +/- out, don\'t want to break anything! I have removed the front fogs so the switch is now unused. I want to take the feed and run it to the back as in your application for the rear fog.
Cheers
