Rear fog light swap

Postby Birty » Wed Nov 11, 2020 8:35 pm

Hi all...I’m importing my Transit T330 converted to a campervan into NL. I need to swap the rear fog light over to the left. Anyone know which wires are the fog lights in the rear cluster? It’s a MK 6 I think, registered 2003 RHD.
2.2 diesel. Alternatively...I am allowed to connect one to the left and have one on both sides....any suggestions welcome, thanks, Andy

Mk6 should have a pair of rear fog lights, one each side :?

Won't be a 2.2 Mk6, will be either a 2.0, 2.3 or 2.4. Can you not just run a multimeter over the wiring in the cluster to see which is which..??

I can confirm this is true as I looked at mine tonight, both rear lights have fog lights in them.

T'other way around buddy :) Single fog light needs to be, by law, on the offside, so reversing light is on the nearside. Silly idea to cover up a poor rear light design :roll:

Mk1 Focus, amongst others, has that configuration :mrgreen:

Cheers Al I thought I’d seen something that was that way round it may have been a L/H/D on U.K. plates and is it Peugeot that have a centre one on some of their cars .
