STi Rear lights
#1
Can anyone give me some advice with rear light clusters, think its time for me to replace the UK ones with the STi ones but is there a solution to the fog light thing.
Obviously I want to be seen but I dont really want to have to bolt one under the car like on the jap models.
On my fiesta which I had before I replaced one of the bulbs with a high intensity led bulb.
Anyone got any comments or suggestions, I just "have" to get rid of the tango at the back!

sonic, isnt that the problem though, there isnt a fog light bulb holder?
I was thinking more like stick a bright red painted bulb into one of the reversing light holes and rewire one side?

huh?
I was under the impression that the jap clusters didnt have a space for the fog light and thats why all the jap cars have a fog light slung underneath?
You saying that if I merely put a bulb into a hole thats already there it'll just work and i'll keep both my reverse lights?
Oh i think i see (glass over existing cluster arrangement, so I just need to get a red bulb then)

star, you dont happen to know how the original parts differ from the ones that scoobymania sell do you? cos TSL want £280 genuine and SM want £200 for copies.
BTW, did you sell the lexus ones, i decided STi was best

-----------------------------------------------------------------
That is what i did , i removed drivers side reversing bulb and wired up fog lamp signal wires from switch to this i bought a high intensity red led bulb it has about 6 leds on it from Revolution .
Okay i now only have one reversing light but from the outside there are still two clear reversing covers , flick fog lamp on and hey presto tou have bright red high intensity fog light much better than a bolt on one and simple to install no need to drill any holes in light cluster.
hope this helps

cheers, exactly what I was intending on doing, seems there are more than one solution to this.
Now all I have to do is source a pair cheap!
best price so far is £230 from A Grade
