smaller rear fog light for Phoenix
philfingers - 8/11/14 at 09:40 AM

What's everyone else using?

want a smaller fog to replace this one, it's too big for the mounting place on the body
any suggestions, I had a smaller one on the old Phoenix. I've found some smaller round ones at 75mm but not over keen on LED, not in keepign with everything else. Would like to be E marked but not over fussed as unlikely to use in the fog anyway
this is what i have


and this is what I had on my old Phoenix

The smallest ones I found came from CBS. They fitted under the back panel and passed the minimum height for IVA. They can be panel mounted.

How about one of these from SVC

They're the inner lamp from the modular Hella lamps but you should be able to mount on it's own through the panel with a bracket behind.

thanks Ade, might be better. I wonder if I could just use a stop/tail like the other ones I have, would all match then. fog is 21w same as a brake light, so is there any other difference other than the obvious; comes on with fog switch not brake lights!

my tracking was toe out at front 20' [1.6mm]. rear was parallel. garage floor isn't flat so need to check cambers with car in the other direction and average the figures. looks like more camber on OSF tho. . .

Have a look at early BMW Minis. They have a small and neat solution in the bumper. I haven't measured but they look like a good fit for the shape on the Phoenix and would look OEM as they are flush fit. Or could use Peugeot 206, although they're a slightly different shape.

Fog lamps lens/reflector gives a narrower, higher intensity beam.

well I bought one of these REAR FOG LIGHT 2NE 006 609-007 BY HELLA
not really impressed at all, no rubber seal and there's a hole in the bottom to let the water out!
still looking for the type used on my first Phoenix [yellow one above]. Don't really want an LED one or round really, as it's a rectangular mount on the body, will look odd I think. Just a small one as above! like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
if anyone has one and can see a name or part number on it that would be great!
