Rear fog bulb, replace?
#2
I have a 2010 and I think it's different for '10 and newer, but with ours it's built into the lens assembly, so you have to get the whole round light (including the reverse light). Also, ours are LED's. But I don't know about 08.
Having said all that... there is also a small chip in the lamp/lens unit that can go bad. That may be it. But, again, you're replacing the whole thing, I think.

I actually bought a European Fog for my '07 to make both sides symmetrical. Always hated that one side was backup and the other fog... Figured two fogs would be bright enough to use as back-up lights anyhow...
Never did install it before I got my used 2010, so essentially I fixed the problem for about $40,000... Sorta.... First thing pointed out to me is that the right fog on the 2010s commonly fail, and sure enough it was the first part I ordered...

As I said, I was going for two fog lights, and figured to wire in a couple diodes so the fogs worked in both modes.
I still have the UK fog light, as I never installed it before getting my XKR. Sad part is it is now somewhere in storage (I know not where), or I would offer it up. Not even sure I can recall what I paid for it, but I think about $150. I just watched FleaBay.UK for a few months for one to show up.
If interested, PM me, and I can make an effort to dig through some boxes to see if I can get lucky....

OK maybe dumb question but I haven't pulled the unit to check. Question is for PRE - LED units 07-09. Is there a difference in the Lens/reflector for the rear fog light or is it merely a "red bulb"?
It can't be that simple because if it were I would wire my rear fog to the back up terminal and change the bulb.
What makes the left side unique compared to the right sans wiring?

I'll be dipped. I thought there were a few internal LED bulbs but duh. It's staring right at me in the wiring diagram. When in doubt, read the manual I guess. Think before you type Sean. Geez. Thanks guys.
