Hi all!
I am importing an LHD C class coupe in the UK and have to swap the fog light in the tail lights. The fog light LED is currently located on the driver's side, but as it's a left hand drive car, it needs to move to the right side or be duplicated on both sides as I understand.
I have purchased the inner section of the tail light (please see the attached photo) that would be for a RHD car, but the wiring is obviously not fit for purpose.
Could you please advise what would be the best way to change the wiring now? The options I have:
1. Use the left side wiring that includes the fog light for both left and right tail lights. This would give me fog lights on both sides ideally. Question is how to split the wires and run an extension to the right side. I guess this approach would also create some error codes as two lamps on one wire is not what the car was meant to have from factory.
2. Swap the wires so that the fog light wiring (on the left side originally) now goes to the right side only (and vice versa). The problem is the wires are too short and would need to be extended - I would very much appreciate any guidance on how to do this properly. If there is a way to purchase relevant OEM parts that could fit, would very much appreciate your guidance and thoughts.
Thank you very much in advance and hope my explanations make sense!
P.S. Have added a photo of what I am trying to achieve here - took a photo from MB's website, not my car, just in case.
