Fog > Brake Modification

[DJ Wozza]

Moffet has this mod done, maybe if you ask him nice,

he may get Lyndsey to stand on the brakes whilst he films it ( or vice versa).

I loved the look of it on his IS200 @ the TDI meet. Pure class.

Does the pic on this thread not help mate

any one got a video of an is with this mod done i was thinking of it but i do like the look of the is with the nice 2 big lights lighting up

not sure what effect would be with 4 lights lighting up

would like 2 see tho

This one was taken to show the flashing brake lights, but the fogs also light up

[Rikos]

Does look good, i'm definately doing my fog lights, not going to get the pulse brake lights but they do look good. It does remind me of a Skyline back end

[snowman]

But are they allowed to flash like that?

[Unregistered_User]

Yup, if you fit the LED Pulse Brake Light kit, that is a fully legal modification.

You won't get that if you fit the Fog > Brake Light modification.

Yes mate, they are legal. As Jamie says, not part of this mod though.

Is it the kit to have the rear fog's illuminate as a brake light in normal use but still enables it to light up as it should when its foggy? If so, do you know where i could get one from and the cost?

There are two ways of doing this mod

1/ Dual filament bulb holders giving separate filaments for each, AFAIK you need to do a small mod to the actual reflector to make it fit.

2/ Use a couple of diodes (69p each) to feed the fog bulbs from both the brakes and the fogs. This is the way that I did it.

do u know how to do the dual filament mod with the actual reflector? to make it fit?

In order to use the dual filament bulbs you need to get a dual filament bulb holder the same as the sidelight/brakelight one to fit into the fogs.

When I did it, in order to get it to fit the only alteration was the plastic tabs on the side that twist in needed a little trimming with a Stanley knife.

Hope this helps! :D

I did the diode version so the above sounds good to me :D

hi,

thanks :) i will give it a try tomorrow :)

ps i thought that the altezza got the right fog light units for the dual filament fitting? do u guys know where to get these parts from?

[Rob]

the altezza should do as i have seen so many with an aftermarket fog light fitted. Easiest way to check is open the liner inside the bbot and look at the bulb holders. - or even just look at the lights!
