oops pressed submit

The Fog has to RED the reverse has to be WHITE.

You *could* be creative and extend the wires for each between the sides, but its still likely to fail an MOT.

Also, they will fail an MOT as these rear lights do not have a reflector, so youll either need stick on reflectors, you youll have to swap back for MOT time

Lol no it will always be red unfortunately. Unless you break the filter up (which you can do if you do it carefully) itll stay red
