Rear Fog Light Heat

yah, get a blue led and your lamp will light up purple.

that shows how to take a dual filament bulb 25W / 5W and modify it to dim the light a bit, I believe that it is a 7443 bulb, basically you cut off the out side leads and move the inner leads over, did mind just to reduce the intensity.

I have the same rear fog from Z1 as well. I didn't need their harness as I went through the license plate wiring.

I did swap the original bulb for LED. Purchased it from Ebay. Just type in the original bulb type LED and whola.

LED's run much cooler not to mention look so much better than bulb.

Hi,

How did you wire the rear fog lamp to your license plate light? Did you have to cut the wiring and splice the fog lamp to the license plate light?

Thank you,

Can someone tell me why you'd want to drive around with the FOG light on...minus the FOG and using it in conjunction with the rear lights.

It's a......FOG light, of an increased intensity to the rear lights to prevent a rear end collision whilst driving in inclement weather, i.e. FOG.

No offense Zteve but I think you're confusing 'cool' with 'annoying'
