Default STi rear lights

Hi, just wondering if i were to swap my rear lights from my uk classic my99 for some sti red and clear lenses what would the situation be with the fog lights? Is there fog lights built in would i have to do as most imports have and have the unsightly hanging lamp near the number plate?

Cheers
Andy

if the wiring going to your UK rear lights already has a fog light then i would think you could just use a red/fog light bulb in the same place, it would only be the lenses that are different surely?

In the drivers side rear light, so as above just swap the bulb for a red one. I used an led bulb, no probs MOT time.

The original fog light is in the red section - now you are putting it in the white reversing light section (as there is no fog light section), hence red bulb needed.
