As HP Sauce said. Everything is there for the nearside fog light with the exception of bulb holder and bulb.
Very easy to have both fog lights working.
Although I haven’t done it this time around.

Mot Re test today.
Should pass with no advisories after the Fog light and brake problems were resolved.
Because I had the parts. We installed discs and pads all round.

Update. Passed mot. Clean bill of health.

While at the mot station. I queried what he meant by the tell tale warning.
Yet another school day with our cars.

I never realised when the lights are on and you select front fog lights the light on the light switch changes from amber to green if all is ok.

Similar when selecting rear fog light the light changes colour if all is ok

I have only owned the car since 2012 and I never knew this.

Yes Ben. He showed me.
First time I noticed it.
Then again I don’t think I have ever used the fog lights.
