OK I'm in the USA and am in the process of converting my (facelift) rears to include fog lamps. A friend in Germany sent me some clusters but it appears they are yet another iteration of the design. These clusters have the following set up:
Germany:
turn
brake/running/reverse/fog
UK models have as far as I know:
turn
running-brake dual/running/reverse/fog
US models:
turn
running/running/reverse/brake
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks,
Al

Re: Got my Euro facelift tails.
Thanks gazza. The units I received have a single filament for the outer lower bulb which to me is brake only. Wiring color is a black for earth and a black/Red for the brake signal.

We need someone with a facelift to check wiring colours.

Re: Got my Euro facelift tails.
I can check later but I think it might have a extra 5watt tail light, so that's a 21/5watt 2 filament for running/tail and brake then a single 5watt running/tail, then fog reverse and indicator.
Could be wrong I'll check later when I get home.

Just checked my 99 facelift and they are all separate single filament bulbs for tail/brake/fog/turn and reverse.
