I managed to pick one up for £15 after a lot of searching and added a clear one as an extra reversing light.

Think I paid £21 for mine which is still steep for a cheapo bit of plastic.

No real cheap ones about, Honda Civic fog lights are flush fitting, but being Honda, not cheap either.

About £25 on the Bay

Bear in mind you only need one (on the drivers side), so that makes it half price :)

I got mine on ebay and found out that they came from a Datsun Sunny 120, mind you I liked the bling as the surrounds are chrome.

I've fitted a pair of these and lovely they ate too, though the price seems to risen dramatically from when I bought mine. You could make do with one, though not as nice, or you could do the trick where you turn one reversing light over to be a foglight (cost, one red bulb and less reversing illumination). Don't fit a dangly though. They are butt ugly and end up getting caught on something and becoming very dangly :-(

I managed to get a pair of these for £12.99 each from the importer who I bought my van from, after I cracked one surround. Sounds like decent after-sales (26 months after!) to me.

Bought my tin top a couple of months back - the reversing lamp in the o/s cluster has been converted to a fog ( with a red bulb obviously ) and is a great way to solve the rear fog hassle.
I'll keep this short - but the previous owner stuck the Bongo through a car wash and lost half of the reversing mirror. I've got a spare screen I can fit and have found that I can buy a rear view camera off ebay far cheaper than a mirror?!!
I'm probably gonna need some extra lumination and have found these :

I've already purchased some fog lights for the front from these lot in Bulgaria and they arrived within 4 days and they are fantastic given the price. I intend to get a set of these flush lamps to use as extra reverse lamps in my rear bumper. These could be useful if anyone wants a fog and a reversing lamp. Either using a red bulb / led's or tinting red ( have used this stuff before with great success ). Though they're not 'E' marked - okay for reverse lamp use but questionable for use as a fog???
I am considering colour matching the black surround.

I had a good hunt around, the imports that had the Ebay lights on had corrosion inside the fitting so I didnt bother, Hondas use a similar light but the bumpers slightly curved.
May be others though?
