Can you post a link to the lights you got? Or were they just generic lights from Advanced Auto? I'm having trouble keeping all the lights in this thread straight  |
Unfortunately I have no links or way of posting photos, but there was a GTG here last Spring and someone may have posted a picture of my Euro wagon on the Forum. Try a search.
My rear lights were probably like yours originally, but the fog must have been destroyed when the left end of my Euro bumper was smashed. A PO replaced the destroyed fog with some generic German backup lamp assy, then wired it to the right backup wiring haeness. When I replaced my mangled Euro bumper with a US 300D sedan unit, I mounted both backup ligts under the bumper. My inspector might let me slide if I had an original rear-fog hooked up, but I don't have a red lamp unit to put back there anyway, so I'm staying with my existing arrangement for now.
Later, I may decide to replace my tacked-on backup lights, with the less-vulnerable compact Chinese LED units I got from Advance Auto.
Happy Motoring, Mark
