Default Import and Rear Fogs

I have an import that has been fitted with a rear fog for mot purposes.

I have just fitted some afterburner rear lights.

Is it possible to re wire the fog light to these and do away with the extra ugly light?

Should be. Do the new lights have foglight bulbs/fittings in? If so, just re-route the wire to the bulb and connect it's other side to earth.

If your lights are owt like the stock items, removal of the bulbholder is easy and you can SEE all the connections on the inside

What you done with your STi lights? Wanna sell?

People always mention wiring in to the reverse lights.

But whats stopping you using a UK rear light loom, with the fog bulb, drilling an extra hole to take the new bulb and popping that in?

I have a spare UK loom you can have for free.

I was thinking that maybe can just use a UK rear fog light switch?
There is two unused connectors at the back of the panel just above the coin tray.

it looks like who ever imported has used a wire from one of the connectors to power the new switch they have fitted. However its just a generic switch with spade connectors on it.

Might pop down the local scrapy on Monday see if I can pick up a switch and see if it has the same conenctions.
