Rear hazard/fog lights

It really bugs me when the manufacturer only puts one rear hazard lamp in place - on the offside. I am guessing there is a loom plug for a nearside bulb; I see I need to get a bulb holder and make a cut-out for it in the lens assembly. Does anyone know what fitment I should look for on eBay?

Better looking a loom from a breaking jimny perhaps? Not sure if the extra wiring is there. You may have to extend it from the other side.

I think you mean rear fog light

Hazzard lights are when both indicators flash by pressing the red switch on the dash

I stand corrected.

I call those the 4 way flashers though.

Anyway, two red ones to the rear must be better than one!

There is no wiring that side you need to get the drivers side loom on the rear light cut a hole in the pasengers side rear light and run a wire from the drivers side to the passengers side

Iv yet to do it on mine

Thanks, I thought that'd be the case.

Tight devils ain't they. I've done it a few times before but am having trouble finding a usable bulb holder.

I can see I am going to cut the right size hole by hearing a piece of tube and melting the plastic.

I've only had this a few weeks and it has been non stop.

I've made a start as I found a Vitara bulb holder that would do the trick. I cut a round hole to size using a red hot piece of sized tubing. Then I cut out (only) two recesses for the bayonets to go through. There are more but why make it more complicated as two will do the trick, the others I chopped off the bulb fitting. I had to slim down the overall size of the holder body a tad and the wiring I'll do later.

neat job

All done.

would like to ask the comments of the experts

the Jimny we got here in the Philippines does not come with a rear fog light. the wiring harness is there. would like to know if somebody can give me part numbers for the 1. Rear fog lamp lens (ours should be in the bumper) 2. rear fog lamp switch 3. rear fog lamp socket

i think this photo is the rear fog lamp lens with sockets?

I hope you use your fog lights wisely John! A pet hate of mine is people that use them in conditions other than thick fog (I mean sub 50m viibility) or leave them switched on for a couple of days after the fog has cleared.

They are easily confused for brake lights (especially when there are 2 of them ) and I find they are very bright and irritating when you are in heavy traffic. People that use them in heavy rain they are a total nightmare!

Have you looked in the main lens unit - on the door pillars - to see if there is a blank or available light bulb socket?
