Default Offside rear fog - easy to replace?

Are the rear fog bulbs easy to replace?

Just failed an MOT on:

Offside rear fog lamp switch faulty
Offside rear fog lamp not working
Offside rear fog lamp tell tale not working
Can this just be the bulb or is the switch likely gone? (that is what they suggested)

Cheers

Fuse?

And, as usual, MAKE, MODEL and YEAR of car would help anyone to reply.

So...first check is the fuse, second is the bulb. Bulb is easy from inside the boot.

Come back when you have checked both.

Tip: don't rely on a visual check for either: multimeter etc is essential, or replace with a known working one.

Are there meant to be two fogs lit up on the rear? I replaced the bulb but no joy (right rear on, left off).

I checked the fuse for FOG (rear) and it's fine

Just to sanity check, this is the dash light I get:

Offside rear is where you need lit for an MOT.

Got a picture of your rear foglight switch?

Not sure on a Newage, but, the classic ones are illuminated.

Front foglight switch:



Rear foglight switch:
