Has anyone converted the 1998 Pajero fog lights to brake/park lights and is it legal to do so.It lets the vehicle down having such small brake lights on the bumper.

I've done it and I don't care if it's illegal. Prados have them as standard so whats the diff. I'd rather people see me than otherwise. I haven't got them as tail/stop lights though, just stop. Cut the wire from the foglight switch and connect them to the stoppers in the bumper via the rubber plug in the body and silicone it after.
Good luck

Thanks Andrew D I will give it a go only had the Pajero 2 weeks and so far its the only thing I don't like about it .Great idea using the fog switch for spotties will do that too.

I doubt that this will be illegal. My Jackaroo has the brake and tail lights up there. Shouldn't be a problem.

Hi, I've got a GQ patrol and have been considering doing the same thing. I was just reading in the latest 4X4 mag that Nissan's have the lights in the bumbers as the standard placed fog lights don't comply with the Australian Design Rules. Something to do with the spare wheel mounted on the door and the lights not being visible from all angles. presume the Pajero is the same?

That's probably it Bryan but I guess they havn't gotr off their seats long enough to look down at their new ridiculous angle bumper lights. Have you tried to see a new Pajero's lights from a couple of cars back in the traffic. I use this technique quite a lot to read thje traffic but Not any more.

Bryan thats probably the reason nice to know there is a reason but those little lights on the bumper sure are a pain in the neck I am sure it is much better for us all to have brake lights in both places After all how many times are fog lights needed.
