Default 430. Ex Singapore

Hi,
Big thx to everyone who has contributed to CL , I’ve only had my 430 for a couple of months and the knowledge here has been a big help.
My 430 is ex Singapore and has a few differences from the ones for the USA market, one being extra tail lights anyone know if these are tail lights or brake light?
Mine don’t go , tried replacing bulbs ,but still no go. , wondering if I should be looking at the brake light circuit or the tail light circuit?

I believe those are fog lights for certain market. Turn on your fog light and see if they turn on.

I think they’re just reflectors. Remove the lenses to see if there are bulbs inside.

yep, rear fog lights, WIL44 or one of our other regulars from Europe could tell you how they function.

I think they turn on with the park lights. But could also be in the circuit of the fog lights. This set of lights are mandatory with certain countries in Europe. For the purpose of increased visibility during heavy rain and fog. Obviously not a requirement in the US.

They are rear fog lights. I am in the UK and we have to have them. Turn on your fog lights.
I hate them and made clear replacements from a lamp diffuser and use red LED's.

Thx for the input , fog lights they are .I think I’ll leave them as is , I have coloured globes on the way for the front fog lights as I use them as drl so an extra set of rear lights isn’t a bad thing .

WIL44. I’m assuming you don’t have factory sat nav , have used the space for any thing else ?

I painted my side markers body colour. I have the factory Sat Nav still, but rarely use it
