After reading about using your inside taillights as fogs (and gettin sick of telling people why i only have one reverse light) I thought i'd sort mine out.
These instruction are for if your using the right hand side reverse as the fog. Bit of common sense will allow you to use them another way.
You'll Need...
Soldering Iron
Solder
Wire Cutters
Stanley Knife
Insulation Tape
Metre Length of Wire
Wire Strippers (if you need them)
Bits of cardboard
1) Remove both of these panels...
2) Remove the plug for the inside light, the brake light wire is the yellow and black one. You can see the original green wire (bottom left) for the reverse light
3) Cut the yellow/black wire and where you fog light (black) wire is joined to the reverse light (green). Tape back up any bare wires.
Left hand black = Fog
Left hand green = Original reverse light (supply)
Middle yellow/black = brake light
Right hand green = To reverse light lamp
4) Put some card under where your soldering and on the floor of the boot.
You dont want this to fall on your carpet...
5) Solder the two green ones together
Solder the leght of wire (to go to the other light) then take out about 20mm of the insulation about 50mm - 100mm up the wire and solder on a small piece and join it to the yelow/black wire. tape all on the joints with insulation tape.
Sounds abit complicated but you'll see what i mean in the pic.
6) Now cable tie the wire to the loom going from light to light (I did cut off the ends after I took the pic)
7) Solder this onto the other yellow/black on the other side
And thats it, pretty simple. Should take less than a hour.
Lights will now look like this...
Reverse
Tail lights
Brake lights
Fog lights
