Default Fog light relocation

Hi Guys. I have an Import S2000. It had a horrible fog light. I have connected the switch to the reverse light on one Siberia. I sprayed the bulb red but it's not very bright. Someone else must have done this. Any tips or brighter bulbs I can use? It's an old 2000 S2000.

Hi. I replaced the bulb with a high power red led bulb. Direct fit about 15 or 20w it's very bright. The previous bulb was sprayed red and very dim.

Any of the 7440 fitting LED bulbs should fit this really, I think this one should work, I've just ordered a couple of these:

Thanks. I have ordered that one. Is it likely to pop up warning lights as its led?

It may well do since its drawing such a low current, but I'm not sure. Will have to report back when this is fitted.

I've got led bulbs in the reverse and fog light fittings with no problems, what warning lights do you think they would light up.?

I read on here somewhere about warning lights coming on when using certain bulbs.

Bit late with this but, I just looked at the link for the bulb. These are not very bright. The fog light is supposed to be high power. The Red LED I bought was like a tube with a Cree bulb I think 21w or equiv. This is perfect and probably brighter than before. Get another bulb of ebay

Mine looks more like these (but I didnt pay that much !!) HIGH POWER LED
