lepo5 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 If you do a search on uploading pictures there should be a few threads on how to upload them, you do need a photobucket account though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Maybe you are doing this for originality, but did you consider moving the fog light to the reflector section and the drivers side tail light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 My objective is to ensure that the car passes an MOT. My understanding of the MOT was that if it was fitted by the factory that it was subject to the MOT. A cracked fog light lens would be subject to an MOT Fail or advisory? Are you saying that theres a spare socket for Fog lights in the tail light assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Same lamp with different mounting bracket also fitted to Astras - that will help you widen the search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be you new foglight. remove your existing fog light, it has two wires a earth, and a 12v switched. you can buy a bulb holder, with two wires. Any motor factors.earth one wire, put a spade on the other, connect, job done. You could also do the passangers side! Reasons why? It gets rid of the unsightly, lens, that hangs below bumper, it keeps it inside, nice and dry, It balances the look of the back of the car.

Daza Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Sounds smart! Silly question, But is that legal as a fog light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds smart! Silly question, But is that legal as a fog light? Yes. Mine has been modified so there is one reversing lamp and the other side is the fog lamp. Just used a red bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Remember, if the car is pre April 1980 you don't need one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D It will only fail the mot if it is insecure or white light can be seen. You could just use a decent glue to hold it together for the mot. It can't actually fail for just being cracked.
