LED rear fog light

[Suspect]

Right, Iv had a look round and can't seem to find a red LED bulb that matches the bulb number in the useful threads page.

Brake/tail: 7443 (21W/5W) Two per side (one per side on ADM S15s)
Reverse: 921 (18W) If a reversing light is converted to a fog light, you will require a red bulb

When the car came in to the country last year tone of the reversing lights was painted red and turned into a fog light. The paint has now burnt off so im looking for a more permanent fix. Will I have any issues if I use a break light bulb (number above) instead of a red reverse light.(I guess they are different numbers for a reason but the fitting looks the same?) I understand a few people have used red LED light so any input would be great.

Cheers

Great!
If you will finde one, let me know - because I need one bulb too. I didn't get a chcance to buy it, so now is the time.

PS. Found something like that:

Looks like there is no uk shop for that, will try to find something else.

Yeah I've got the same fog light conversion... 921 wedge fitment... just get red LED equivalent and job's a good un. I don't think they're too expensive from States... believe I got mine from there!

Useful threads has a recommended retailer for LED bulbs and I used them - pretty sure they're Stateside IIRC!

Right sorted this now, thanks for the in put guys.

Ended up taking a chance (due to time frame) on one of these.

no problem, if the bulb dose not work when you first turn it on, dont panic (like I did) just turn it round!
