Right people post pictures up of your fog lights as I want to change mine for something a bit different.


The plan I have at the moment is this.

But the thing is the bit the bulb goes in to is from a landrover I think and is for the brake/taillight. But what I was thinking was if I bought an indicator holder from a late mini as they have the screw holes. Then put the red lens on it that would be easer would it not? Then just wire it in as you would a normally fog light. I just need to work away round fitting it.

As long as you understand that it won't actually be legal unless the lamp you use is approved as a fog lamp. E marks are not all the same, they are specific to the test the lamp was put through.

The lenses and bases for those lamps are pretty interchangable as long as they are from the same series. Don't just grab a Land Rover stop tail in a panic though, these lamps come in loads of different configurations. The screw holes wouldn't be the problem, the lamp holder would be wrong. Look at some auto electrical suppliers. There might even be a fog version out there.

I had only thought about using the landrover one as I had one laying around. I'm open to ideas though.

Cheers.
