    Two ways you can do it - the billy bob basic way, which I did is to cut a couple of holes in each reverse light and add a pair of 501 bulbs in each, wire them into the reverse feed, then put red LED bulbs in the main holder and wire them into the fog feed.

    The other way would be to use a red switchback LED, but you either need to mod the housing to accept a dual filament 1157 bulb or bodge the wiring for a single filament 1156 bulb.

    Unfortunately I got rid of my Nova haynes manuals long ago so can't advise how to wire them up any more

    Ah crud would love to know how to wire them up, I'm seriously not electrical minded and knowing my luck I'd either blow something up or blow myself up

    All you really need to do is take the foglight wire to the original reverse side and the reverse to original foglight so that's 2 wires linking both lights. Then get 501 bulb holders and bulbs and use these for the reverse and crimp or solder the wires on
