Rear fog conversion - JDM MOT requirement

[James_0541]

Anyone converted a reversing lamp to a fog light? I understand a high intensity led bulb is the way to go, but is it sufficient for the MOT given it will through a clear lens?

Subaru Legacy estate by the way.

Yes, my importer did this and it was fine. Seems to be fairly common in the industry as it's much better than hanging a light on the rear bumper!

Yep, as above, pretty standard

I do all my imports this way. Sometimes Subarus come with rear fogs from Japan

I imported a ITR about 20 years ago and they just cut a hole in the bumper for a light without telling me!

Clear lens is fine as long as it’s (somewhat obviously) a red bulb.

Thanks for the replies, gives me some confidence I'll get through my mot by fitting a high intensity LED.
