2015 Rav4 Rear Fog Lights (UK)

[ASGXX]

We currently own two Rav4's here in Georgia, USA. (2011 Sport & 2016 XLE)

We intend to bring the 2016 (built 2015) Rav4 XLE back to the UK next year. Currently US Rav4's do not have rear fog lamps fitted (only front).

In order to comply with UK road laws we obviously need working rear fog lamps.

My technical question is does anyone know if it is a simple swap of the rear light assembles (complete) and is the wiring harness likely to be suitable for the that transition?

Toyota USA unfortunately are unable to answer this question, or provide a Certificate of Conformance/Emission Data! 

Any pointers or information would be well received.

Best, Andy

The legal requirement for rear fog lights in the UK is that one should be fitted on the offside of the vehicle - so, for the UK, when viewed from the rear, the fog light should be on the right hand side. 

One can of course, fit two - one on each side.

Thanks for the info, a last resort would be to fit/wire independent fog lights at the rear.

We would really like to replace US with U.K. lights if wiring permits. Possibly Toyota use the same wiring harness for both continents so no additional wiring would be required, well that's best case scenario, any idea apart from Japan where this could be found?

You could look at the rear light harness to see if there's a spare wire.
