As my Jap import Gt4 St185 hasn't got back fog lights as standard, i decided to use 2 of the 4 brake lights as fog lights. Unfortunately my dash shows a bulb failure now due to me using 2 of the brake lights. I have 2 load resistors but i'm unsure about where they are placed, can anyone help!!

You'll have a better response to your questions by posting in the correct 'Technical' section :wink:

You can make the mod in a better way

Use diodes in the inner brake light lines on the live wire and use another diode in the feed from your switched live feed to the live feed. The inner light will then come on either with your fog switch or with the brake pedal and you won't get error lights flashing :D

I used to have a picture of how to do it, will go on a hunt....
