I`m after a bit of symmetry for the back of my coop. I can`t decide which would be best. 1) The reversing light replaced with a rear fog light. 2) The rear fog replaced with a reversing light and a red LED bulb in for the fog light. 3) Spray both bottom lenses with red tinting spray. I`m assuming the first 2 options will be possible as i wouldn`t have thought there would be a big difference in the light fittings,just possibly the connector plugs would be different. Any opinions?

I have been thinking of something similer having 2 reversing lights and changing the rectangular reflectors at the bottom of the bumper to fog lights.

You'll still need reflectors though.
Cowboy, where's your reverse light?

You could have a thin strip reverse light either side of the number plate?

You dont need a reverse light for an MOT. I havent had one for 3 years. The other thing Im missing is a fog light. But luckily the MOT tester is ok

I was actually thinking of replacing all my bulbs with LED ones too,especially the reversing one as i find it`s just not bright enough  . Baz

I've run with 2 rear fogs for nearly a year now, no probs with MOT passing  It looks good when they are wired up and makes the car more vissible in the fog. You will need to drill 2 new holes in each light mounting to fit them though. Two Fog Lights Thing it evens up the rear end. If Im reversing into the drive at night I just put the fog lights on, more than enough light

I think i`m gonna try the 2 reversing lenses first with LED bulbs (1 red and 1 white) as i need a good bright light for reversing into my drive as it`s quite narrow and my security light doesn`t light up the bits i need to watch out for  .
