(i am sure there is a good few ) with the outer two doubling up as break lights and the inner two as fog lights
'MOT pass' i swop them back over so i have all 4 lights on as tail/brakes. Works a treat and there is plenty of room to leave the extra lamp base tucked behind the lights. ..i never drive her in the wet or foggy conditions! 
( more abit pink).....? It should be as bright or brighter than your brake lights. If I brake with the rear fogs on the outer 2 will just light up as the inners are already lit. So, I installed a simple toggle switch for the MOT so I can switch off the 2 inner brake lights so they are dedicated fog lights 
....... (one to each side)(not good)(you should be able to get these from maplins ) in the wire from the outer brake light to the iner brake light
I imagine it is too small for starters, and if its not even as bright as your rear sidelights you have a big problem! It should be as bright or brighter than your brake lights.
(the outer ones) and 4 brake lightsLeeroy wrote:Hi Jamie,
Tbh I doubt your fog light will pass the MOT.

The configuration on my car is 4 brake lights, 4 side lights, and the inner 2 brake/side lights act as fogs.
This is illegal though as you should have dedicated fog lamp(s).
This is the best config IMO and looks
Let me know if you want a how to.
I've done more or less the same with my MK1. But I checked with 3 different MOT testers at different test stations and checked the MOT testers manual and there is no requirement to have dedicated fog light(s), dual purpose lights are perfectly acceptable, as for wattage, 21 watts ( same as your brake lights) is all you need. Fimmo has just had his MK2 MOT'd with the rear lights setup like this and it passed without comment on the lights JimiBlack is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour

Actually I did my mod through Stef's detailed instructions originally so they'll be fine for you to figure it out. He did a grand job =D> sidelights and brake lights on outer bulb and dedicated fogs on inner bulb, you'll need to purchase a new wiring loom from Mr T or a breakers yard so you can exchange the inner single contact bulb holders with dual contact bulb holders. You'll also need 2 dual filament 5/21W bulbs for the new holders. Cut both old inside bulb holders from fog feeds. Leave the fog feeds in situ Wire up the two new inside bulb holders in place, wiring both sidelight filaments in parallel and then both brake light filaments in parallel Wire the inner and outer sidelights filaments together in parallel With the new inner brake light parallel connection, wire the outer brake light filaments to the inner ones, putting (1) a 5A diode and (2) a switch in between (to allow (1) a single current direction from outers to inners, and (2) to enable the inside brake lights to be switched off for the MOT) Wire another 5A diode from the fog light feed to the inner brake lights. Tape up the other fog light feed.... You can always get hold of some JDM clusters though to make it look again! Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour No problem though...... If you lift up the felt in the boot (by removing some of the poppers first - push in the middle part and pull out from the edges) you should be able to see where the fog lead goes out of the body. So just pull the lead up and feed it through to the cluster area, I did this via the small blanking grommet you'll see (6-8mm diameter) for neatness and punched a small hole in it with my mum's fabric hole punch! I once managed to short one of my component speakers as the terminals were touching the bodywork Simple fix though and no damage 
,(as my tail/brake lights are outers , whilst the inners are fogs , so i wanna lose that separator plate so i get the full two circles)? filed down/snapped off/ sanded ???? £750 for it......... eleccys are not my thing so keep it simple .......... (bit like maself) 
, can Front fogs , be fitted with a lower wattage bulb to be the same brightness as normal headlights ?? ????Oh and one other quick thing
Or is this illegal
you can get higher wattage ones. as for the headlight i think it uses a H4 type bulb (dipped and main in one!) and i can remember if they are 65watt/65watt or 65watt/55watt. so they are the same wattage or only very slighty lower. fog lights are pointing straight ahead! so look brighter.Stevef wrote:Any ideas where i would get the JDM clusters
Can the serparator plate be removed
If you wanted to remove the separator plate it would mean braking the seal to get into the clusters which is not a good idea as they will then mist up all the time if not re-sealed correctly. I also don't know how easy it would be to remove the plates, presumably not too difficult, but not sure it would look great if you couldn't get it 100% smooth?? They are often sold on the for sale and affiliates sections here, and on eBay, just keep a look out. Alternatively, a breakers will probably be able to get you a set, try Sports Toyota Breakers in affiliates...Stevef wrote:Also wot kind of wiring loom would i have to ask Toyota for
Knowing Toyota they`ll charge about
But in reality its easiest to get hold of a whole loom and then cut them off... You can buy one from Toyota for £20-30 which is a lot (what I did ) or you can get them from a breakers yard. Try Sports Toyota Breakers again...Stevef wrote:Oh and one other quick thing

Why are you asking this? You do realise fog lights are only for use in foggy conditions right - there's nothing more annoying than people using fogs when they're not supposed to!!!
