Pretty sure that the brake light has to be a distance away from the rear fog and you certainly can't use the same bulb for rear fog and brake,

Side/brake red 2. Direction yellow 3. Side/Fog red 4. Reverse white I'm wondering what you need to legally show if you are reversing with hazard and fogs and sides all on. I'd go for 2 'lights' 1. red with three bright levels, low for side then medium for fog *or* brake, and high for fog *and* brake. 2. Reverse and directions in one No idea on the regs although I think there are two pieces of relevant law (vehicle lighting and construction and use) On 20 Feb 2012, at 20:51, Jim Hearne <[email protected]> wrote: That's what i was thinking, but whats the minimum separate sections you'd need ?

I was behind a car the other day in the dark that had LED rear lights (factory, not OEM), didn't recognise the make/model. It used the same section of the rear light for sidelights as indicators. When the indicator was flashing it went from dim red (sidelight) to bright yellow. The lead me to think, what would be the minimum number of sections you'd need for rear lights if you used different colour LEDS to meet the regs. The 2+2 rear lights use the same bulb for sidelights and fog so i guess you can combine those. I think probably 2. Section 1. Brake lights only. Section 2. Sidelights (dim red) , Fog lights (bright red) , reversing lights (white), Indicators (Yellow) in priority order. Any thoughts ?
