Just a quick question i no I have to fit a rear fog light for not purposes but I want to use as small a light as possible. What small rear fog lights have people used on there cars pics would be a bonus.

rewire the o/s reverse light into a fog and paint the lense red if you dont want anything showing

A fog light can go bottom right of the rear window as it still falls within mot regs for placement. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I literally just took the one off my rear valance, bent the bracket a bit and bolted it to the parcel shelf, you barely notice it there. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

You will get alot of reflection if installed behind the rear window Crystal Sound Audio said:

I shrouded mine to the screen, but in all fairness I used it once in two years anyway. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

There are some cool LED ones available that look ok mounted behind the rear screen. They are quite small. |

If a car is pre 1980 does it not need one? BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |

I've got a VW Beetle fog lamp recessed into the valance. I also did the same for the reverse lamp when switching my '89 to MK2 rear lamps. |

If you're going for a classic look, then I'd go for a Lucas L494. They come up on eBay all the time and you can even buy repro ones. |

Then again, who the fuck is going to know that and be bothered to apply it?
