One of the 2 rear foglights has gone on my 993 and I've got an MOT first thing tomorrow.
Notes from my last srvice read
"Nearside fog light inoperative, terminals corroded away, rear light strip will require replacement."

Goes without saying I did sod all about it....

So tell me,

Do both need to be working to pass the MOT or will one get me through?

Anyone know how much a rear light strip would cost?

A lot of cars only have one rear foglight so you should be ok.

I think you only need one on the offside.

yup, and ONLY the offside is subject to test. So even if the other side works and shows white light it wont fail.

i thought you could only show white light to the rear if reversing?

Anyway irrelevant it is unlikely to ever happen on 911.

A couple of hundred quid or so. 10 minute job to swap - 2 screws and the bulb connectors.

Yes you only need one to work that was the only thing my one fail on this year. The fault was a relay switch £10.00 .
