    1997 COTY just imported - Rear Light cluster changed for MOT - No reverse light

    Just taken delivery Legnum COTY imported in 2016
    circa 29K miles. Very tidy overall - so very lucky

    The importers kindly got the vehicle through a UK MOT.
    It looks as though the only obvious tweak was a new fog light pair installed onto the light cluster in the tailgate door, removing the reversing lights

    Anybody aware of any solutions to putting a pair of reversing lights. (Off the hoof, perhaps led strips connected to the reverse circuit stuck across the tailgate door)

    Anybody else been felt compelled to get a reverse light pair back in place or do they just using flashing hazards when reversing in the dark?

    Thanks
    1997 Legnum VR-4 S
    1997 - Year of the first cloned sheep Dolly - huh?

    I just have one reverse light on one side and fog light on the other. Congrats on the new car btw, sounds like a good 'un. Maybe start a thread with some pics??

    Thanks Chug - given my clumsiness in this area - I will get a professional to change the connector - they have managed to preserve the clear plastic lining between tail gate door skin and cluster

    Will start thread as suggested.

    you can use the inner or outer brake lights as fog lights as well.

    but the mot rules say you can't use the brake light as brake light and fog lights they should be single function.one filament one function.

    Bye for Now!
