| NFFC    | Re: First in the World .. to change the Retrocode !!!! full red would be illegal (in the UK at least) and would surley make it harder to see when reversing at night. Not to mention that no one would know you are in reverse and thats massive potential for a smash that would be your fault. Nice idea though. You could do full white with a red fog lamp bulb, that would be perfectly legal and look a bit better. |

Posts: 76 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: First in the World .. to change the Retrocode !!!! Is it easy to replace the unit? I just got the car back from the garage and notice the reverse glass, and bulb is missing/broken. No proof that they did it but I've never noticed it before.

A rear fog however, is. - this should be placed on the rear of the car, no higher that 120cm, too low to use indicators Reflectors, also ARE required by law on the rear of your vehicle,... i currently have twin whites on the back, tried using a chrome plated red bulb as the fog but it just lit up pink, so now i have twin reverse lights and no rear fog.....oops i just change it around come MOT time  hope this helps anyone....
