Guide: Fabia 5-brake light mod

[mathepac]

For anyone interested in doing this mod, the device code for the diode is 1N5404 , Maplin order code QL84F, price 0.17p each ( 0.27c in Ireland). I'm sure Peats or Radionics will also stock them.

AFAIK the rear fogs are the same intensity as the brake lights

So in theory no-ones going to know they are the rear fogs.

Yankee cars and some trucks/bus/coaches light up part of the indicators when the sidelights are on

I'm thinking of doing the 2 rear fog and 5 rear brake light mod. Is anyone able to provide some more in depth pics of the installation please? Showing how to get the boot carpet off and where to run and connect the loom for the 2 rear fog and 5 rear brake light mods? Many thanks!

I wonder how the brake light switch holds up with the extra surge current...
