Rear Fog Light LAW!?
Rear Fog Light LAW!?
So Anyway what is the law regarding the rear fog light!? Does it have to be X size by X wattage etc!?
I have just snapped off my rear fog light.... It was annoying me I sort of broke it. Anyway I fancy seeing about getting something along the lines of a brake light style (long thin and bright) rather than universal box rear brake light that sits under my car and wrecks the look lol.

I had a red lamp instead of 2 reversing lights on the Trans AM it hardly lit up anything and passed MOT without a comment.
There are rules on where they can be mounted.

But if you can mount it in the middle you should be fine
Just look at the pug 206 there's is in the middle so can't see any reason why you couldnt

Well I know when I was living in germany and my car only had one fog light I had to swap it over from the right to the left

In the Skyline I removed a reverse light on the drivers side and put a red bulb in there with a swith on the dash that lit up <---- that I knew was a requirement.
Never had a problem with that set up for six years last MOT was this July just gone.
Didnt no that the fogs could only work when side lights on
