i quite fancy rewiring my rear lights so when i have the headlights on, i have the rear headlights AND the brake lights on, then having the fog lights light up as the brake lights.

is it just a case of getting matching bulbs for the brake and tail lights and extending a wire over to cover the two bulbs?

Having you brake lights on will be quite bright for drives behind you.

You'll get problems for you MOT as well.

i'd swap the brake bulbs to the same wattage as the tail lights and i'd down scale the fogs too. thats the plan anyway.

and for mot, i'd put back to standard for the day!
