    I have a Japanese RHD import into UK market. It is a base model with no fog lights. I was driving in heavy fog recently, the front lights were just about OK but I was very concerned about not having a rear fog light.

    I believe it should be possible to replace one of the reverse bulbs with a red bulb but I am not sure how to adjust the wiring. I don't mind doing things myself when possible - I usually follow a YT video but I cannot find anything to follow for doing this.

    Does anyone know of a video or can give me very basic instructions on how to do this job?

    So I guess the deal is that bulb that you're going to put red into the other reverse light will be a lot brighter than the tail lights Is that the presumption? I've never seen this setup but I've seen the picture of it and what makes the fog light that's now in the reverse light come on in that car is there a switch for fog lights? Or is there supposed to be I guess is my question I don't have the schematic for this model

    It's a thing in Europe, so you don't get rear-ended in heavy fog, especially if you are pulled off to the side of the road.

    SM-G781V ?
