Thanks for all the recent kind words people.

Found a german real light (English drivers side) in the same town as where I live too, picking it up later today, so tomorrow will fit and get the twin reverse lights going. 8)

Being symmetrical FTW :mrgreen:

Ok so as you know by now electrics are not my strong point...

So my idea is this...

Image

Snaplock onto existing reverse light

With new cable

Image

Spade new cable

Image

Attach on/off switch to spade

Image

That's so I can still have my fog light active come m.o.t time next year,

Then Repeat process in reverse ending the last snap lock connect to my currents fog light.

This should work... Fingers crossed.

Ok just reviewed it with my mate and it won't work, it would put my front fogs on whenever I reverse, so I need to find another way of wiring it, my friends quite good with electrics so shouldnt be to long till it's up and running.

In the mean time I fitted the light...

I'm happy they match at least 8)

This was my idea on paper...

Image

This I know now won't work,

This is my mates which he is looking into...
