Default Fog light positioning

I can't decide on where to put my fog light - i've balanced it here for the pic, although the light i'll be using will have a carbon fiber surround (so it's upright).

Do you think it looks ok here, or do you think it would look better lower down on the right of the number plate?

Any opinions would be good.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I've been having a think, what about if i put a bulb that lights up red in the clear light on the drivers wing.

Should be ok for IVA?


Edit: remembered why now, wont be vertical

I think the landy lights may be too small for a FOG. I have that descision to come too.

Do the lights fit ok without any plinth?

TT

Yea, they fit fine as i've got them. They have a rubber backplate that screws on first (as you'll probably already know).

I was planning on getting one of these for the fog, so it sits vertical

Look ok too.

The other option would be to get one of the old type square ones with a bracket bolted to the bottom of the tub for iva, then swap to the one on the arch after.
