i see now so everything is correct then all i need to do is put a red bulb in the reverse light position and wire it up and im away.
Strange they tested my front ones,

What part of the country are you in mate? I have had EXACTLY the same prob as you only 4 months ago. I got someone to wire a reverse light into a fog in the end. Cost me £30. If you're in Kent or nearby I can point you in the right direction. Oh and I had to have a dedicated, rear fog only, switch to make it work.

The route I took was (after buying a bolt on fog light but then didn't have to fit ) to go to the local import garage and ask them who preps their cars when they come off the boat from Japan. They'll have a dedicated garage for their work - speedo conversion, fuel filler restrictor, rear fog installation, etc. The one near me gladly gave me the number and later that afternoon I was fixed with foglight in place of reverse light. If you need the number of the guy who done mine, for advice etc, PM me. He may even know someone oop North for ya.

If the wiring isn't there for whatever reason it is not a huge job. You'll just need to run a wire (small thickness) from the switch to the back and solder it on. You can use one of the many grounding points in the back. The only time I can think that you'll need a wiring harness is if you need it to come on with the rear lights. There are plenty of auto electricians to do the job.
