Red bulb for fog light

Post by mikedaws » Wed Jun 27, 2018 8:15 pm

Hi
I need to find a red capless bulb. I thought I found one on eBay but it turned out to be too big (needs to be about 13mm width). I did try painting the old bulb but it made it too dark. I need a new one before the MOT next year.

Does anyone know where to get one?

Thanks

Hello
I have wired in a red LED (purchased on ebay) directly into my rear red reflector, think it required a 10mm hole drilled in the centre of the reflector. That way I was able to keep both reversing lights.
Recently passed it's MOT, inspector was not sure but checked it on line and was happy to pass it.
