I've just purchased a D4 upgrade from my D3 and when testing the fog lights the right hand side lights up red and the left hand side uses the white reverse bulb. Is this expected??

Thanks. Looks like they will be going back to Powerful UK for a replacement set!

They also need to be returned as they have some manufacturing damage. They come per fitted with resistors so I'd expect it to work out of the box so to say.

What happens when you bang it in reverse? Do you get LHS fog on? Resistors Shouldn't effect it at all at they are only needed for the LED indicators (hyper flash) are these Valeo units?

They are OEM replica items from Powerful ( £280 vs £430 for Valeo). Reverse lights work fine just the fog lights are off.

Sounds like some very backwards wiring internally! Do you have a link to them?
