That is a Cadillac Catera. However, I think there will be a problem. The Catera's as far as I know don't have rear fog lights, so you could only use the outside light cluster not the one's on the bootlid. No rear fogs would mean an MOT fail.

There's an Omega from the forum kitted out with those lights. Plenty of Jap imports around with a generic fog light.  ;)Colnman Milne convert Aussie Fords for the funeral companies & fit a rear fog too.  :y :y

You'll find plenty of them on american e-bay, prices do vary, full set including trunk $195, but does'nt ship abroad.

No problem if you just pop a generic foglamp on the back. It wouldn't do much for the looks of the car though.

only if you don't fit A N Other fog light ........ :-?

I stilll can't see the reason for the things anyway, in 30 years of driving I could count the number of times I've needed them on the fingers of one hand.   :-/  :y If a country the size of America with all the variations in climate that they have doesn't see the need for them ......  :-?
