Someone on here had some expensive led ones from cbs that had all required lights in two units, so no need for reversing/fogs on the rear panel.

Don't forget the distance regs for the fog/rev from the other lights. if you can buy a suitable all in one cluster you will get away with it.

This is mine, (Not level yet or finished)

The centre of the outer ones are indicators, centre of inner ones are reverse.
Outer of outer ones are side and brake, outer of inner ones are side and fog (currently wired up as brakes also)
The brake lights are labelled as equivalent to 21W and the fogs are equivalent to 24W.

pretty sure there is an exception in iva for one piece lamp clusters.

Not all cars built by manufacturers have the fog light 100mm from brake lights if its a one piece cluster
