    i bought my saxo with crappy lexus lights allready on and they dont have a fog light so i just got my hands on standard rear lights and i believe where the og light should go is blocked with a a bit of plastic, how do i get the fog light to fit in if the hole it goes in is blocked ? any help would be highly appreciated thanks

    will i be able to break the plastic bit out cos the hole for the light is there but there is a straight bit of plastic that goes over the hole?

    All saxo have fog lights - its law after all. Just plug your new lights in and away you go. Fog light can be turned on by rotating the indicator stalk with the side lights on

    That is why the Jap imports always have an extra fog light attched to the bumper - they look like ones you could buy for a trailor at halfords or something. IIRC if you have only one light it must be fitted to the drivers side or something like that.

    i read that the rear fog light was compulsory, worked out the rear lights now, they come new with the plastic over both fog light holes and they are weak on the edges to be easily broken so they dont have to make different sets for different countries

    I am pretty doubtful about mounting fog light bulbs if you are going to be breaking the plastic, but sometimes you have to try new things.

    I did the same thing when I got m3 style rear lights, break the plastic(it's weak) just make it don't fall in the lens. Simple
