Rob332 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi guys, So I removed the rear lamp on my 03 JDM Z today as my rear fog light was inop. The reason it was not working was obvious when I looked down and saw the lens and the bulb holder had all melted. It has had a recess cut in the lamp where I guess the reverse light once was and an aftermarket fog lamp unit put in, screwed in with a self tapper. I can't for the life of me source a replacement fog lamp unit the same size that will fit in the recess. It's made by some German company I think. Does anyone know if I get a UK spec lamp, will it just be a straight swap? then I can just use the existing wires that were used to power the old fog lamp to power the fog on the new UK lamp ? I thought this might have been asked before, but can't find any info on a search. Hope it all makes sense. Cheers guys ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm pretty sure the JDM and UKDM clusters are identical if thats what you are asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommoger Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm pretty sure the JDM and UKDM clusters are identical if thats what you are asking? JDMs don't have fog lamps as they're not a legal requirement in Japan. Mine had some aftermarket one fitted on import to the UK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Yes, but the clusters are the same, the ukdm will have a red removable reflective material where the fog would be, but most remove it anyway and fit a better bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob332 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 It's OK now, cheers Managed to find one the right size on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361295115761&alt=web This will replace the lamp that has melted and saves me from spending £40+ on a UK cluster and having to remove the rear bumper. At least I now know the clusters are the same should I want to replace it in the future Now just got to change the rear discs, pads and shoes and everything is sorted for the mot Then will be investing in a plenum spacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixaman Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Same, my fog lamp unit from what you describe was done the same way and yes, it had melted too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
