How to install rear fog light ?

[Michel]

Hello,
I'm new owner of a 2002 GTS.
I need to install rear fog light to approve my VIPER in France and get a registration.
Someone know if it's possible and also how to add fog light in rear headlight block ?
Thank You.
Michel.

Congrats on your FE !

We have the same problem in the UK, when people bring in US spec vipers.
Baz on this forum has converted quite a few i'm sure he will post soon.

(for the US guys euro spec vipers has rear foglights built in, two pulls on the headlight switch turns them on)

I beleive the on/off switch in the cockpit has be illuminated when switched on and visible, not hidden under the dash

Or you could fix one on temporary just to get you through the test

I took the bulb out of the tail light and put a single filerment bulb in its place (bulb nearest the Number plate) and ran a seperate feed via a fused switch..
There is a part No for the Euro tail light with the e mark on it...

Doing it that way there is no need to damage the car in any way apart from gutting one wire in the tail light..
Hope this helps

I generally just slow down a bit while backing up in the fog.

Welcome Michel!

My dealer built the mandatory rear fog light into the existing lights. Used one of the rear driving bulbs. An extra switch installed in the center console.

I thought the U.S. has ridiculous requirements. SHEESH.

Hello guys,
I just bought a Viper and shipped it to Finland.
Finnish law requires vehicles to have a rear fog light, so I'm about to equip my Viper (gen 1) with one.
There already is a rear fog light switch and it has been wired. If there's anyone who knows where this wire ends, I'd appreciate any assistance you could give me.
Thanks

I would guess it's where all of the money is at.

Dave6666,
Have you checked the value of the dollar against foreign currency lately? That'll explain why so many Vipers are headed overseas!

Thelma, put some beer in the back of the wagon. It's time to ride the high seas and check out what all the fuss is about over yonder.

The wire doesn't go anywhere. It ends about 5-6 inches from the switch.

You Europeans are always a step ahead of us Americans. Who would have thunk, of putting a light on the back of the car. Now you can highbeam the bloody ******** that are BOTH in front of you and behind you.

Michel - Welcome to the club! Congrats on the Viper!!!

Why do you capitalize every word you type? ...Just curious. Doen't it take a lot longer to type?

ACTUALLY, WHEN I TYPED ALL CAPS, IT CHANGED IT TO JUST THE FIRST LETTER OF EVERY WORD WHEN I POSTED IT.

Don't you have anything else to do?

It didn't do it that time. Hmm...
