My Halfords-a-like fog light has gone belly-up.

Anyone know where I can get a decent replacement fitted?

TIA,

Mark

I take it were talking a bolty on one for an import.

Ken Ross (and perhaps others) have replaced one of the reversing light bulbs with a red one, and re-wired it into a switch on the dash.

Should be simple enough to do, don't know about getting a red bulb though, perhaps he painted it red!!.

Didn't have a chance to get the garage this morning, on account of being to lazy to get out of bed. I'll do your fog light for you, you on your own with the clutch and downpipe. (unless you want to finish my Fiesta for me while I do yours ??). Might see you later if I leave my works night out early... have you mentioned drinky poos to Mark ??

Damn, I should have patented the reverse light idea (even though it was actually Ken Ross who told me!!)

Mark,
I have secert tape in my possession that allows for this very complicated procedure.
Result...my Import is now UK spec(almost)
If I lose the RA badge the skies the limit.
Cheap insurance, dealers might let me buy stuff and might not show on the stolen car register
John,
Said to Vicki about tomorrow night(she must be wanting me to sh*g her or something) she said OK!!
Will phone you to arrange
Enjoy your book

John,

When do you think you'll be able to perform open-cluster surgery on mine?

Pintette, I'm up for it!

Mark, bring it down 1/2 hour before the quaffing of the lager begins and hey presto.
Red, built in Fog light. Surgery fully reversable and when viewed from any more than 3cm invisable too.
