Rear Fog Lights.....

Hey Guys and Girls..

Finally got round to de-badging the punto about a month ago so thought i best get some pics up of what the crossover black looks like without...

...also after a bit of advice. On the Sporting 1.4 16v should the light in the picture (the one thats arrowed ) be lit when you turn the rear fogs on ?

Reason being is when i first got the car i tested all lights etc. and noticed only one rear fog light but obviously took this as being normal as some cars do only come with one rear.

I just though it was a bit weird to have a light there for no apparant reason as i have tried all the knob's dial's buttons etc etc. and none of them seem to light it up.

O well, just curious i guess!

Chris

Re: Rear Fog Lights.....

No you're not thick :-)
Yup, the days are gone when cars had 2 of everything I'm afraid.....
(cost reductions)
1 fog light and 1 reversing light.

Re: Rear Fog Lights.....

yeah by law cars have to have at least an offside fog rear fog light, hence why you see scoobs etc with them added on when they've been imported.

thanks for posting a picture of a black sporting that had been debadged, just need to decide whether or not to do mine now...

Soon having two headlamps will become an optional extra

Re: Rear Fog Lights.....

That's pretty low for a reversing light, it seems to me that it would be difficult for other drivers to tell when you're reversing especially in the daytime.

I reckon only have 1 light when reversing in the dark is a pain, you can't see anything on the driver's side. How bright is the thing?

Re: Rear Fog Lights.....

Chris ,the red part of the reversing light is just a reflector,you have that on both sides of the car,the reversing light is on the nearside so you would be able to see the kerb etc when reversing.
