Hi all <br /> <br />Currently up to my elbows in bits of Ikea wardrobe (my brother, the future engineering student, has given up...[:)]). There's doors and another shelf to attach to one, then another to build from the flat pack. Lessons learned so far include that if you fit the doors first the shelves won't go in, and that if you fit the clothes rail it pulls the sides in so the shelves won't go in. They're well-designed but I wi***hey'd mention this stuff in the instructions! <br /> <br />About the Fog Lights - I didn't realise they weren't fitted over there. John has it right, they're high-intensity (red) tail lights intended to stop people rear-ending slow moving vehicles in thick fog. I think they're now a legal requirement on new vehicles though front foglights are optional (usually only found on high-specification vehicles - my Disco doesn't have them but the next model up does - having said that, off road they're just something else to break as they hang under the bumper). Do you guys get reversing lights fitted as standard? Noticed philnrunt mentioning that he fitted an aftermarket one, so curious if they're not a standard fit. They make reversing at night (especially with a trailer on) a lot easier as you can see what you're about to hit! <br /> <br />Well, back to the piles of chipboard, screws, and weird-shaped bits of metal that according to the instructions will become a wardrobe, I'll believe it when I see it [:D].
