Rear reflector and tail light change. Little difference.

The spot for the rear fog lights are in the us reflectors. You simply have to dremel the spot for them out. Then you add the light socket and connect the wiring to the existing plug. It is readily doable as a diy.

No wiring required at all.

A word of caution on dremeling out the rear fog light housing and installing sockets . . . I had an email exchange with Daniel Stern of Danile Stern Lighting regarding doing just this:
Cleanest/best is to get the Euro rear lamp cluster! Problem with
dremelling out the housing is that it becomes virtually impossible to get
the focal length right. Filament-to-reflector dimension is *super*
critical...off by more than a few mm and the reflector doesn't see the
filament, result is a dim spot of light through the lens instead of a
strong beam.

"By the way, when washing the car (i.e. water hitting the reflectors directly), I still get a little bit of condensation. Nothing too bad, but I guess this happened even when the cars were new when washing with a hose, and as cars get older it happens from rain, humidity, etc."
I get pine needles dropping into mine! Had to remove the unit and clean them out, and then put black filler in the top to stop it happening again!

On my car ('91), there is no rubber gasket around the periphery of the corner lights where they meet the body; wonder if that would help, if one could be fashioned to fit in there?
