Have swapped the front & rear fog lamps to LED equivalent bulbs. Easy enough to do.

Stock vs Mod: Front



Stock vs Mod : Rear

Standard

Ash mate, how do you fit the rear LED? Ordered one, but canny figure out how the light comes out.

EDIT: Are those rear DRL's or is it a reversing light you upgraded?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve changed out the rear fog lamp and the reversing light. The procedure is the same for both lights, just they are in separate clusters on the bumper (i.e. the reversing light on the left and the rear fog on the right)

I’ll post it in a min as I took pics.

Andy, here’s hoping this post works.

You need to remove 3 x 10mm nuts from behind the light cluster you are working on. One’s in the wheel arch and the other two under the rear bumper.





Once you remove them, push the threads that these nuts were sitting on and the light cluster should ‘pop’ out. (Look at the build-up of dirt in mine already :O)



To remove a bulb you just turn counter-clockwise and it’ll come away from the cluster, then pull off the electrical connector. Refit the new bulb. Better to test the bulb with the cluster off before refitting and finding out it’s faulty / not fitted correctly.



Refit everything back together and that’s it done! Here’s a comparison of the bulbs. Left stock and right the new LED.



Hope this helps, cheers Ash.

EDIT - Procedure is the same for both light clusters, the reversing light is located in the LHS cluster and the rear fog the RHS/DS cluster.

Ash.

Thank you for posting this info.

I know that you replaced the reversing light bulb with a led. Have you found it to be a noticeable improvement, in practice?

Hope it helps Andy! I must say the rear fog change-out isn’t a necessity, but the stock reversing light is terrible IMO. I got bored so I changed both ha.

No worries Steve, happy to help and enjoy posting a wee procedure on different mods etc. Just noticed your reply there after I posted to Andy, the difference is huge between the stock reversing light and the new LED. I never took pics to compare but it’s day & night so to speak. Have heard the LED can cause glare on the reversing camera (if fitted) but don’t have it to test this theory.
