Coding pre facelift rear lights to mk4 upgrade

[petrev]

Pretty sure the sharing of Brake and Rear-Fog is not allowed under UK regs ?
States Brake and Fog must be at least 100mm apart !

Regs
- Rear fog lamps may be combined with the rear position lamps.
- Fog lights must be at least 100mm from any brake light.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989
SCHEDULE 11
PART I
2. Position
(d) Minimum separation distance between a rear fog lamp and a stop lamp–
– (ii) In the case of a rear fog lamp which shares a common lamp body with a stop lamp:
100 mm

I don't live in the UK, we don't have a legal requirement to even have a fog light in South Africa. I made disclaimer "works for me". Anyone doing this in the UK can make their own decisions, as to whether they want to switch around a tail light once a year for MOT.

Yeah, just making it clear for UK owners, then it is up to the individual as you say.

I'm interested in this article, I'll stay here to see if I get access and I can see the modifications.
