rearfog lamp
Hi, I have my fog lamp fitted to the offside reversing lens. I purchased a red bulb on ebay which was 21 watts. The site said it was not e rated but would pas the MOT. It failed the MOT today. Do any of you were I could pick one tommorow. It is the cap less type. I have tried halfords but they dont do one in red. Thanks in advance. Joca

Get a clear one a paint it red for quickness then get proper one
Re: rearfog lamp
Hi Laird. Thanks for the quick reploy. The one on ebay was a dark red but it lit pink in colour. I have painted another bulb red but it still does not look right. I have orderd some flush fitting reversing lights off ebay. They will not arrive before the retest.Thats why I am for a quick fix. Joca
Re: rearfog lamp
Give the bulb a few coats of paint ,even nail varnish(not yours though)
Re: rearfog lamp
Worth popping a few red Quality Street wrappers inside the lens.

Re: rearfog lamp
Personally, I would return the bulb to the supplier with a copy of the failure certificate, requesting a full refund. You could also report him to trading standards...
If you need to get thru the MOT quickly, get some red cellophane type material which you can cut to size and fit either inside or outside the lens.
Something like this would probably be ok:
