    They are no good as the fog and reverse are on the wrong side.
    Only way round it is a red filter or red bulb on the reverse light.

    I did as Benn says. I masked areas off, and used red tint spray.

    They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....

    Doesn't matter if you use it or not, it would fail an MOT with the fog light on the left.

    A single rear fog light is fine but it has to be positioned on the offside of the vehicle(or central iirc). Reverse light does not matter as it is not testable.
