Just wondering, is it possible to remove the RED fog light and replace this with an older CLEAR/WHITE reverse light, but fit a red bulb

When it's off it looks white, but when the fog light is switched on it shows red

Is the fitment of the red/clear unit the same

good idea, i don't know the answer, but good idea! would imagine it would be hard to find a really bright red bulb though...

ALD0 · Nov 9th, 2004, 05:47 PM

But you would have no reverse light?

ALD0 · Nov 9th, 2004, 05:48 PM

Oh yeah-Duh you would!!!!!!

jasonfields007 · Nov 9th, 2004, 05:59 PM

the reverse lights in the 05 model are built into the rear lights

ALD0 · Nov 9th, 2004, 06:02 PM

Yeah only remembered after posted.
MikeytheMINI has re wired a Convertible so the White lights can be fitted on to the Back

But changing the bulb is the easiest-you could even get a Chromed Red Bulb to go in there. Approx £4 off ebay.

I'm sure a 21W red bulb would be bright enough

Or as interceptor just said as I was typing this, a chrome/red one

(he only put that to prove he is actually awake

)

With that in my bumper, clears at each side and a smoked 3rd brake light (black roof

) it would be very

Yeah sounds about right!

You will have to Patent your idea-Show us some pics if you get it done!

tnoy66 · Nov 10th, 2004, 08:01 AM

Pics will appear when I get done

I'm just trying to get everything in place now, so when I do get my MINI I can sort it quickly

So does anybody know if the 05 foglight is the same fitment as the pre05 reverse light anybody
If you tell me I'll give you first look

I promise

Fimtment is the same - I have a chromed red bulb in my reverse light. 21w is the official power for fog bulbs.
Looks great in my car as it looks light blue when off - just like EB
