Default MOT issue....!

Just back from getting my 2000 classic MOT'd and it passed.....whoohoo! However the guy asked me to come out with him and look at the rear lights which are the sti type. There was no fog light and on closer inspection there is a bulb socket with blue tack in it holding a wire in the o/s cluster where the reverse light should be. On putting a bulb in it eventually went on. The guy passed it but how do I fix this problem as a red bulb in is not very bright?

Thanks in advance

Will they show through the lense bright enough? I've had a look on eBay with no success! I will also need a new socket I think, as the one that's on is missing the spring at the bottom!

There is no space for the fog light in the sti lights, the uk wiring does have space, so you jut need to loose one reverse light on the drivers side, use this space for the fog light, I brought a silver bulb that lights up red, you will need to swap the bulb holder as it doesn't fit tightly

Can you point me in the direction of where you got the bulb from and where you got the holder? I don't have the original lights!


Cheers
