Post Fog light
Hi Everyone

What is the law regarding a rear fog light ...

Does my Bedouin have to have one? ....

For the UK, if the first reg date is after 1/4/80, then - yep - a rear fog light's needed.

And it needs to be in the middle, or on the right hand side at the back...

With an illuminated switch or separate warning light...

I recommend a pair with sidelight bulbs in them - every little helps ;)

And wired to only work with side or dip switched on...

Then there's the height requirements... and all the other itty-bitty regs...

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if your wrinkly hairy pair did have sidelight bulbs in 'em. Or, more likely, neons and a smoke machine.
