Angled Rear Lights - Money Saving Tip

[HandyAndy]

Gulp, £42 for 1 light.....might have to have a rethink then, I,ve got the NAS indicators & tail/brake lights but still need to purchase the reverse & Fog lights,
Hmmm, best start hunting around I guess, my wallet would dis own me if I paid £42 for 1 light

Thanks for the tip on the screwfix tube, got some this afternoon.

cheers

I know what you mean Andy. A lot of people seem to go for the square style lights for fog and reverse. I really don't want to pay that much for a lamp but at the same time I want o keep the unifrorm style - plus I got some gift vouchers for CBS for Xmas

I,ve seen some fog & reverse lights (NAS style) on fleabay for £16 which includes the pod, it says its E marked & claims to be "SVA" ( not IVA ) compliant, am I right in thinking then that these would fail IVA?

I have some cheap square style fog / reverse lights but they too don,t have an "F" mark......am I missing something?

That's the trap I fell into.

For SVA they only needed to be E marked.

For IVA they must be E marked and also have an F or B mark on them.

I've got original Wipac light units and the fog is E marked but not B or F. I've contacted quite a few sellers of similar units and I've yet to find any B or F marked ones apart from the LED units that CBS sell.

I to got caught out by this one at IVA. I bought my lights from bolt on bits on ebay.

Through a local automotive electrical retailer I found that the following carries the correct markings, and fits perfectly into the 95mm housing that was supplied originally.

Durite rear fog lamp, Part no. 0-767-06. Cost about £20 from memory, so not to bad overall.
