    Question Rear fogs

    Here's a question.......How many have done as I did and snip that wee bit of plastic out,fit a bulb and then have 2 rear fogs? Wonder how much Volvo saved with this one. Had 2 850's and is always the first mod. My bro has an '02 C70 and is the same.......

    Yep, I done that. It was my Dad who discovered it and we were both puzzled as to why Volvo even bothered doing that.

    Its just the V70 2.5 10 valve SE, pictured here with the 2 people that make life worth living, my babies.

    Think it changed at the same time as the first face-lift on the 850. Not sure though.

    the first 850 facelift was 1993 when they changed from the large headlights to the smaller ones & from 4stud to 5stud, mine is 1994 the first of the second phase

    And twin rear fogs mate. Seems that that was when it changed. Vertical boot extensions of the tail lights? Think we've sussed it.

    I have two rear fogs as standard, but only one works as the muppet who fitted the towbar (factory fitted!) has snipped the wire to the one foglight and wired it into the towbar electrics (I'm not a happy bunny, and I dunno why I haven't failed any MOTs)
