Twin fog & reverse
Who's done it? With all the recent talk of LED lighting it would be possible to install 2x reverse lights and fog rather than just the one of each seeing as the wattage draw is cut down a lot.
Only downside is it's 100 for all four but would look good IMO.
You could go for clear or coloured but both would work. Personally coloured for me in case someone rear ended you they'd cry wolf and say modified lights. Rolling Eyes Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

As long as you use E marked type approved lights in their correct application you wouldn't have any issues regardless of clear lens.

This is a simple plug and play harness to make up if needed.

very popular mod here as well, esp with the NAS-spec Wipac LEDs becoming affordable.

LED's are ok but not essential for this application. There's plenty of 'capacity' in the wiring and people have been doubling up various rear lights for many years without issue. Build a little splice loom with some male and female plugs and the whole thing could be plug and play. Darren

Does anyone do a truly plug and play wiring kit to add another two to existing wiring? I think cutting into existing wiring is best avoided if possible.
Would simple need a male and female ended in-line "tap" between the light rear and the wiring plug.
RDX do plugs both male and female anyway,mine guess these could be used in a way.
Regardless in my view I would rather plug into existing wiring and sort the rest added on from there than chopping into the existing. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Jont - I did glimpse your post now you mention it but didn't quite cotton on at the time.
What you've done is exactly what I was thinking of, I'm assuming you bought their male and female plugs? Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
