I've just smashed the aftermarket fog light stuck on the back bumper of my imported STiIV (4 in the car + a keb...)

I take it the fog light on the UK car is part of the light cluster...
But which side? - Left, right or on both sides?
If anyone can be bothered to have a quick look at the back of their car I'd appreciate it!
cheers!

I believe it's the offside (drivers side) cluster that has the rear fog light.

I could be wrong. I can't check as my car is currently being repaired!

thanks Andy,
the lens for the reversing light (both sides on the STi) looks like it comes out - hopefully that's the bit for the fog light on UK cars- so I don't need to get the whole cluster from the scrapper....
cheers

Why don't you just wire the drivers-side reversing light as the fog light (with a red bulb) ?

Worked for me with no problems with MOT....

Thanks

NDT,

Have the same solution as Gavin on my STi5.

Just had the dealer fit a fog light in place of the offside reversing lamp, wired to a switch on the dash.
