Jap Rear Fog
 
On UK classics, do they have the rear fog built into a rear light cluster? I don't like the seperate rear fog on my jap one and would like to do something with it to get rid of it, so was thinking, get a UK cluster and wire in the rear fog to that?

Any info would be great,

Thanks

Ross

you can just rewire up the lights you already have it will just remove one of the reverse lights.

lol I did this the other day!

Got Zen to rewire the fog to the O/S reversing light cluster... and replaced the white reversing bulb with a regular chrome one but which shines red. The problem though is that it's very weak - no where near 20x brighter than regular tail lights.

So I bought this:-

Having 24 little LEDs they should be bright as hell... but... they are about 0.5-1mm too wide to get in the damn bulbholder. :brickwall Looks like I've got to file the grey plastic away a tad...

I understand from ZEN that a customer's 22B has one of these LED bulbs fitted in the reversing-light cluster, and that it passed the MOT no problem... :)

I had the same issue, so I took the LED route like Joz, however ran into the same issue in that I was concerned about brightness etc. So I did this:

These are two LED brake bulbs from Halfords that I have 'modified' to create a dual array. Note the angle they are mounted at - this was needed as the reversing bulb is angled, so to get the LEDs pointing rearwards (required as light is very directional) I needed to offset the bulb holder

Results are V good, it is definitely brighter than the tail lights, and probably as bright as the brake lights too (and passed the MOT) :)
