4th gen JDM foglight into rear light cluster conversion

Post by vanzep » Wed May 26, 2021 10:00 pm

Im going to refit a JDM back bumper to my 4th gen - this means i will delete the ukdm foglight in the bumper and convert it into the rear tailight cluster (right hand side).
Im sure there will be a write up somewhere but would be appreciated if anyone on here knows how :)

I'll get a pic of mine, very easy to do. Just cut the old feed to the reverse light you'll steal on one side and route the fog feed to it, keep the old earth or create a new one, whichever is easiest.

You then just swap the bulb for a different colour.

As above, I have an LED bulb fitted, which is white when off so you don't see an obvious red spot in the middle of the clear reverse space.

Perfect - a pic of wiring to the rear cluster would be great. :)

Did this mod today with help from Merlin - fitted led clear bulb that turns/lights up red. :)
Black and green wire is the one to go for ;) Cheers for pic Drax
