Rear Fog Light(s)

Post by Dolly1 » Fri Feb 20, 2009 8:47 pm

I am intending to re-locate my rear fog light to the bumper,(flush fitting).
I would like to fit 2 rear fog lights but,is it legal,as most modern cars have only the one.
With both fogs on and braking as well,i am mindful of the glare factor.
Opinions appreciated,and maybe an official one (Highway Code)

I don't have a clue if it is legal or not in the UK. But common sense would say that having two rear fog lights would be the perfect arrangement if you intended to take your Bongo abroard, then you would always have a fog light on the off side when driving in either Europe or the UK.

Hi MountainGoat,

What a good idea,an ideal solution it would appear,
with a two way relay to switch from r/h to l/h
