Question

I fancy some of the clear indicator rear clusters (99MY)

Anyone know if they have a fog built in or do I need to add one in the bumper which will just make my UK car look like an import ?!

If you are talking about the Red/Clear ones from an STi then no these do not have a foglight.

I have heard of people modifying them to take a foglight. The only thing that you will need to be careful about is the fact that there is no reflector, and will heat up.

No fog light. Just change one of the reversing lights to a fog light. Apparently you can just spray the inside of the lense red.

i have the clear sti lights on my car.........they come c/w all connections,so all you have to do is use one of your original connecters(with fog lamp)and put the fog light in one of the reversing light slots.....just paint the bulb red,i used "er indoors' red nail varnish.....a word of caution tho,2 national breakers both wanted to charge more for 2nd hand lights than the new genuine ones i bought from scoobymania

edited to say mines a uk car and that lexus lights look complete
toilet on lexus'(lexii?)let alone a anything else!!
