Default New sti rear lights classic

Hi ive just fitted some new sti rear lights for my 2000 uk classic but have noticed there is no bulb for the fog light?

I presume you have to sack off one of the reverse lights and adapt it with a red bulb as a fog but how do i do this as wont this fail its MOT other wise?

I just fitted a bolt on foglight from Halfords to the bottom of the bumper. Ugly to look at but it folded away out of sight until mot time

I replaced my reverse light with a red LED bulb (think it looks neater than having a separate fog lamp). Lense still looks clear when switched off! Its just a case of cutting the reverse light wires, joining them to the fog light circuit and popping the red bulb in it (making sure you blank off the now bare reverse light wires!!)
