IVA Question

[murf]

regarding the fitment of reverse light and rear fog light s, looking at the rear light set up being square to the floor does the same apply to the above as I want to fit mine flush into the rear clam.cheers murf.

Yes needs to be square to the floor

Try mounting inside the rear behind the rear vent

Mini 1 is about the right size

DONT FORGET THE MIN DISTANCE OF FOG FROM BRAKE LIGHT ( 100MM )

Hi Murf,
Also make sure the rear Fog light(s) are correctly wired. They must only be lit when on Dipped Beam or Main Beam. When the headlights are turned off the fogs lights must go off and remain off unless activated again once the headlights have been turned on again.
If this is something you've overlooked then Car Builder Solutions (01580 891309) sell a module (RFLATCH) that takes care of the switching.
Best regards
Steve.
