Get rid. On both my cars the small light in one of the rear reflectors had already been used. The ones that show clear in your pic.

Do a search there is a REAL good tread about converting a reverse light into a Fog.

Some people also use the middle brake light for the fog\'s

soz im a bit stupid when it comes to electrics. Here are a couple pics to show whats going on. I have decided to wire in the middle brake light as rear fog light.

First pic shows the red cable coming from the button on the centre console and the black earth cable. THese are the two cables which went to the original rear fog light on the rear bumper.

The Second pic shows the cables currently on the middle brake light.

Please can someonne explain what i need to do, could take a guess at it but dont wanna get it wrong.

:Thumbsup!

I just made one of the reverse lights the fog....sprayed it clear red and stuck a red bulb in. Job done

Basically cut the +ve wire to the reverse bulb, then wired the +ve from the existing fog light i had to the +ve of the reverse bulb...that was basically it i think.

connect the red wire to the brake light, but cut the wire, (or fit a diode) so it doesnt backfeed, and turn the brake lights on /??

I think it will be the green you connect it to, the black should be earth wire,

can it still be used as a brake light aswell as a fog light??

Mobilemick · November 30, 2006, 10:58:04 PM

If you fit a diode in ,but dont cut the wire yeah it works fine,

Works fine in my rx

Anyone got the wiring diagram for making the centre brake light the fog whilst still maintaining the brake light function when the fog is off?? It\'s been mentioned on here in another thread by "BenF", but the diagram never seemed to appear??

Crap at drawing, but there u go .
You can use it on any brake light, doesnt have to be high level one
