Question Installing Rear Fog Lights

So I need to install a rear fog light (right side only) to be able to drive my car legally in the UK.

Currently it seems I have the fog light hole blocked off.

Now whats the easiest way to go about installing a rear fog light?



Do I need to buy a new light assembly? or is there a harness I can use to link up to the front fogs?

Would I need to get one of these Jap spec rear assembly?

https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dl...#/il-131990142

If so would it be a simple plug and play? take out the current harness (1 bulb) and install the new harness (2 blubs)?

Mind you I only have one switch for the front foglights, so I would have to somehow connect them to that 1 switch if that makes sense.

117 views and no one has any idea?

I know it's not an interesting topic, I just need to know what's the easiest way to go about installing a rear fog light?

Can an I just buy some lights or wires off the shelf? Or will it have to be a custom wiring job?

What about swapping out the rear bumper reflectors for these... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Lens-S...NVaa-n&vxp=mtr

Thought about those but they won't pass inspection as they are to low down.

Yes actually, ​​​​​​​Bought new rear fog light housings and new indicator stalk and everything worked, you can find the parts and pics in the build thread ---> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...ml#post9850277

The fog light comes on, the only problem for me was that it was not indicating on the speedometer that it was on. You can fix this by getting someone to hookup a light to the speedometer (which I had working on an older speedometer I was using).
