hi, probably been asked a few times so sorry - but i did search!

is it possible to switch the rear fog lense / cluster for a 2nd reverse one, and add in a red bulb; thereby giving a matching look to the rear on each side?

whats the implications re: MOT (reflectors?) and the fitment / orientation of the lense, IE are the fittings handed?

cheers in advance...

I think the only issue could be the fog lights.

Reverse lights aren't tested at an MOT (unless the rules have recently changed to include them?), so it doesn't matter about those.

Reflectors are in the bumper, not the lenses, so no worries with regards to those either.

Not sure if the fittings are handed though, as I've never swapped them over.

I'd be tempted to swap a reverse lense to a fog lense.

Yes it is possible, easy mod too.

Just get another Indicator/reverse lamp and get a red bulb and you're sorted. I did it on my yellow Coupe.


Happy

I have see LED reverse lights placed in the bumper either side of the number plate. Then you can have the double fog light set up.

I had the double fog setup on mine, it was nice reversing into a red illuminated driveway every night.
