Which modern cars have a central rear fog light? Some exotic bodied supercars perhaps? Zonda?

I was going to look into this myself out of curiosity and as we just sold one, the Pug 206 has a central rear fog (and was made until mid 2007 in the UK).

Just been having a quick browse

Quote from: MOT

The inspection of rear fog lamps is confined to the one rear fog lamp which is required to be fitted to the centre or offside of vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1980
 

.... :happy2:

Being dated back from 1980, obviously there were some cars around at that time with a centrally positioned rear fog lamp. The term "lamp" is a hangover from horse-drawn carriage oil lamps! Which modern cars have a central rear fog light? Some exotic bodied supercars perhaps? Zonda?

And did you come across any MOT words about reversing lights?

Reverse lights ARE NOT part of the MOT test, i remember in the 80s some cars had after thought fog lights, the sort you see on imported cars, side repeaters became part of the test in 87 and rear seat belts as late as 88 who would have thought it, i can also remember when diesel smoke test was visual :grin:

Ah some good news then, I might just but a red bulb inand wire up both lights as fogs,  the fog and reverse are not LED buls so I might be saved, will also look into taking the inner lights apart if i can and swapping the lens round.

Cheers for all the replys guys, not got any night time pics yet as I'm in bed with the flu  :fighting:
