can any one point me to an "idiots guide" on how to do this?.......really have not got a clue where to start, but i do hate the way the dangly spoils the lines of my body kit!!

You strip the offside lamp cluster, cut a hole for the bulb in the lowest "spare place" for a bulb and fit a 21W bulb in.

There's a "how to" with pics by missfixit somewhere in search.

And make sure that you make a hole big enough for it (your dangly) to fit comfortably!

As has been said many times before though Carl, doing it the way I did it on the thread above, by adding the foglight in the "spare" reflector, you don't lose a reverse light (Yes we know you fitted a reverse camera & didn't need it, but some of us still need it :wink: ) Even Dandy came around to the idea eventually :wink: :P

Thanks, although i have just taken my rear cluster off and it is different to yours (mines a 2002 model), but i think it can still be done....there seems to be space just below and to the side of the rear tail lamp, although i am not too sure if this would interfere with the light being given off by the tail lamp when both this and the fog lamp are switched on....? :?
