Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Personally, I think rear fog lights are one of the most mis-used pieces of equipment on cars.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Don't Panic! Only the offside fog light is connected within the loom.

POST 2Original post

My nearside rear fog light does not work but the offside one does. When I swap the bulbs (to check it is not just the bulb) the same happens. I have checked the wiring and appears ok and the fuse (which I assume feeds both lamps) is also ok. Is this a common fault or do I have a broken cable somewhere? John

POST 3Original post

That sounds a bit cheap for such a high performance car. Any chance of getting both working together? Even my van has 2 rear fog lights !

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On LHD cars, only the left hand light is connected. I think it is a regulation in most countries. Personally, I think rear fog lights are one of the most mis-used pieces of equipment on cars. It annoys me when people either leave them on, or are driving at 80mph with them on. What kind of visibility problem do they have at that speed? Having only one side illuminated means that it doesn't blind both brake lights.

POST 5Original post

Totally agree. The worst mis-use is when being used during rain! Total numties who should be fined for dangerous driving. Fog lights and brake lights don't mix. John
