As usefull a chocolate fireguard......... - SEAT Cupra.net

hi. kinda got of the topic in another post so starting this one.

Anybody any ideas on the reversing lamp on the toledo's? as the title sugests, not very good!

waqs thinking of new bulbs, high intensity LEDS?(will these cause the car to think bulb is blown due to low power consumption or does the toledo have this function?), also rigging up a new lense and/or rear reflector behind the bulb?

anything welcome.

you only need them on when foggy.. they are supposed to light up only the bottom of the road.

i have southern drivers who use their foglights all the time!!!!!!

sorry, made mistake, edited post, meant reversing lamp, but yea, work in south and got stuck behind a van with fog lights on, annoying!

anyone know of aftermarket clear lamps that could be fitted or seat ones as a second reversing lamp or modding the rear fog light to have a fog light but be a reversing light too?
