If you mean STI rear lights for a Classic then its a simple exchange for the standard lamps; if you have a UK car you will need to fit a foglamp of course.

I need to know this to. I should have mine by start of next week.

I've recently seen a post where someone drilled a large hole to fit an extra light into the cluster to cater for a fog light. Might have been on P1 forum actually. I'll have a look

You can remove the right hand side reverse light and put the bulb holder from your foglight with a 21w red bulb in,depends if you can manage with 1 reverse light.(passed mot like it)I used a silvatec bulb so you couldnt see the red through the reverse light when its off.

No the issue was that its not as bright as a proper fog light,but it still passes the mot ok-just didnt want the red bulb showing through a white lens so got a silvatec one.(nothing to do with reverse lights and mot)

If you look at the STI light compared to a UK light theres a blank on the STI where the fog should go. Drill a 25mm hole, clean it up and use the fog light holder and UK loom and hey presto fog light but no other lights lost and using OE loom.
