    Hi All.

    My 348 finally arrives in the UK from Dubai next week, and I stupidly didn't check the rear fog lights before it left. I've driven my car for years in Dubai, where we drive on the right and never used the fog lights, so not something I've ever looked at. Can anyone confirm if the fog light is only in one light cluster or in both? For a UK MOT, the fog light has to be on the right side minimum, as we drive on the left, so having double fogs means I'm good to go.

    Secondly, the lower front fogs (in the bumper) I believe just look straight ahead, so may not need replacing, and the pop up lamps have an adjuster between LHD and RHD (according to a thread on here) so can just be altered by hand.

    Can anyone confirm the above on their car. My car is a Gulf Spec car, so very similar to Euro Spec. Trying to get everything together, so I can get it registered and catch a bit of UK summer.

    Thanks.

    an extra light on the rear that is brighter than the normal lights for use in fog; or if your an suv driver to be permanently left on, annoying everyone!

    legal requirement to have one fitted to all cars here.

    The 348 has 2 rear fog lights, the front fog lights are same whether LHD or RHD. You only need to move (rotate) the reflectors of the low beams to RHD positions.

    Are the movable reflectors for the front fog lights or for the main driving lights (the ones that pop up)? I'm assuming the second, as you mention low beams? Thanks for the input. very helpful and much appreciated.

    Yes, the low beams are inside the popup headlights.
