Default aftermarket Fog light suggesitons ...

I have got some STi rear lights and so i'll be in need of a fog light for my MOT soon i guess.

Questions is what have people purchased previously ??

I fancy a thin strip light like a rear brake light but i'm not sure on the brightness required for a fog light when looking on fleabay.

all suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Chris.

Rear fogs are usually brighter than the brake lights.

Not on trucks they're not, just the same lamp size as brake (21watt)
and I reckon you will find it is the same on cars.
