Mk8 Rear fog lamps?

Postby Sportcoupe » Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:43 pm

Greetings,

I'm from the states and have been researching if the 2014+ Ford Transit had available factory rear fog lamps. On our Transits, the lower rear bumper is only a red reflector on each side. Has these ever been made functional?

Rear fog lamps have been compulsory in the UK since 1980, so yes, it will have factory fitted rear fogs incorporated in the rear light clusters :)

Thank you for fast reply. I suspected they were required.

Can someone in the UK do me a favor and look up the Ford part numbers for the left and right rear fog lamp housing or aftermarket replacement part numbers? Even a link to a source for replacement housing would be fantastic. The only part number my Ford dealer can get is the reflector piece that we get installed for USA market Transits.

I have a 2019 Fort Transit T250 on order and want to add rear fog lamps to replace the reflectors.

Those bits in above link are the standard tail lights.

Do UK Transits have lights in the lower bumper or just a reflector?

The fog light is part of the tail light.

The bumper just has reflectors.

I had a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It had reflectors in the lower rear bumper. The export model Grand Cherokees had fog lamps where the reflectors were. I bought the fog lamp housing online and made my rear fogs functional instead of reflectors.

I was hoping the Transit was the same. Bummer.
