barneybrendan Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 cheers for that ,as a last resort i could wire it up that way. will these fit instead of the revers light bulb on a facelift. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180548969852?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think hecklar does some small pcb's that do the fog light conversion without all the hassel of wiring them up as shown above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) The old diode mod on the inner brake lights to your rescue Mine has been done with a red bulb in one of the reversing lights. I'll be doing the diode mod to mine. Most motor factors/ halfords should sell red coloured bulbs of the correct pin configuration. (or ebay) * UPDATE * I can't believe the old relay mod is still advicated,. 4 diodes does the same job. Lyndon.

jonc Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My VVTI facelift has the same mod on the reversing light (possibly the same electrician) and my bulb is painted with nail varnish which gives a good red glow. I have never had a problem with the MOT either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
