Default Imported Lights- Foglight??

Alright guys, I am awaiting the arrival of my 22B from Japan and am trying to look for ways to put a foglight in one of the rear clusters, did it to my MR2 last time and was a piece of pi55 but wanted to check on here before I go searching...

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,
Chris

I've managed to do this on my STi - where the fog light is fitted on a UK car. I bought the parts and made up a bulb holder for a standard 21W rear bulb, although you can probably source a factory one.
After taking the cluster from the car, I carefully made a hole in the inside of the light (using a soldering iron to melt the plastic and avoid filling the light with bits). They're silver inside which also made the job simpler.
Once its all fitted together re-install the light in the car and seal it well as they're prone to leaking. Gutter sealant works a treat.

Cost all in: Less than £5. But still need a factory fog switch.

I stupidly didn't take any pictures of the parts, but heres the finished job:
