SVA Mods Again

[Dee Gee]

My SVA mods are all done bar swapping out the stock headlights for the T85s.

I went with the square rear fog light between the exhaust pipes in the end.

That said, I saw a German Vette owner who had fitted LED (3rd Brake Light style)strip lights in the vents at the bottom of the bumper. Strikes me they would be neater than the square lamp.

I contacted the SVA people and they say that the fog lamp has to be 155 candelas and that most of the LED lights don't comply. Most of the lamps here in Vegas are not even E Marked so wouldn't be any good. Tried Stafford and they seem to have some but not sure if they're compliant.

Anyone know of anything that might fit the bill?

Can't help with the fog/led lamps, but I am also getting the T85/LHROR lamps for mine, and have a VERY reasonable quote from a Stateside GM dealer. If you email me I will provide contact details, but the total price less import duty and delivery to the UK (neither of which I guess you need to worry about!) is just over $200, including relevant harnesses - which is excellent.

Let me know if you find them cheaper!

I used a stock fog lamp initially on a bracket to comply with SVA then moved to sit snugly betweent he pipes.

Regs require one rear fog lamp on centre line or offside of vehicle. The lamp must be E-marked or BS marked B or F. Ity should be fixed with the reflector facing squarely to the rear. It must be mounted max 1000mm high, min 250mm high and must be visible horizontally at 25 degree angles to either side and 5 degree angles above and below. The maximum permitted intesity of a high level stop lamp is 80 candelas so they are generally insufficient to meet the minimum 150 candelas for an E marked fog light.
