Can't decide...

[Jack]

...whether to have twin reverse or twin fog?

Then why not have both!

:cool:

[Spudly]

Any gen on a how-to then mr?

[Jack]

Ive got some pics and bits, I'll sort it out at some point.

Really really simple though, thought someone would have done it before. I've had the idea in my head since I had my old saloon, just never got round to doing it. That was ~6 years ago lol

[Mazz]

I'd assume they are twin element bulbs and you made a little loom to join them all up

Twin fogs are as much for the look (when not illuminated) as anything though. So you fail. lol

[bmw156]

what happens is you are reversing with your fogs on?

[brainsnova]

whats the hand signal for reversing.

[Jack]

Nope, single element bulbs as I don't think you can get white/red 386 bulbs. Plus the holder is only for a single element bulb so it would require some work to accomodate a twin element bulb

Twin reverse all the way! Twin fog looks odd with just one orange lamp and the rest of them red IMO

Why would you for a start, and even if you were... whats the problem?

[Benn]

I like the way mine are better... But that's very cool.

[L14MNP]

Fairs fair RJ. I'm confused though. Surely twin fogs have orange on each side?
Crossed wires lol Like your mod.

[Jack]

They do, but it doesn't look out of place with the clear reverse lamps there too. Looks more like the OEM lamps.

[L14MNP]

Aye. twin reverse looks more OEM. :)

That's a nice idea Mr Jack, how did you go about doing it?

Did you use LED red bulbs for the fogs? I used one in a twin-reverse setup and it was just pink!

[bmw156]

heavy fog, reversing around a corner, or in general. and well how does the reverse lights operate when the fog light are on. they cant both show?

I've never in my life put a fog light on. Have never had the need to.
When you be revering around a corner in heavy fog with cars comming towards you.. You'd simple stop like your ment to.

[bmw156]

lol i havent either, but what if a car coming towards you couldnt see you.

saying that, they should be able to see you because of your reverse light.

[Benn]

They'd have their lights on so you'd see them/them see you.

They are a little pink and not quite as bright as I'd like - however this could be fixed by using better fog bulbs. I just used some cheapy ones to see if it would work.

Well you'd only have the foglight on in fog I would assume. So the cars coming from behind would see you reversing. Why you'd be reversing in fog towards oncoming cars though is beyond me, sounds a little bit dangerous, no? lol

You can operate both at the same time. Not sure how it would look, but the lamp will only be as bright as the brightest bulb in there (or something like that). Turning both on won't make it any darker :p

[AlexW]

lol at above.

On my clear rears i made it so i had LED's around the outside of the reverse, wasnt great though.

[Benn]

Pfft i don't have fogs or reverse.. I'm cooler...lol
