Yes, involves making and mounting a light in the upper red bit towards the boot. If you can, have a look at a standard Uk set, it will give you the idea.

Just had a look and that's what has been done but it still shows white when on so I'm going to get another red bulb as the one in it has seen better days .

I will be using my drivers side reverse light as my fog light by changing the wires location in the connector block that is screwed to the back of the light cluster .

What fitment are they?

MOT stated the one my brother used in his JDM Blob STI light was a bit pinkish, it's not a bayonet pin, think it's a capless one he has.
