LHD Fog light

Post by shropshirevanman »

Afternoon!

Ive got a LHD Reimo, with the foglight on the left, for MOT its needs to be on the right, there is a aftermarket fog lamp on the right, but not working, does anyone know how to convert/get a part so you can use the original lamp cluster including the fog light...
many thank

i think you just fit a bulb to the unit and take a wire across to the o/s

When I have done this in the past easiest thing to do is get in touch with one of the club's breakers and buy an O/S light cluster from a standard UK one, then wire it up as normaly to a Fog switch in the front...
