Agree with RRB get a square one and bolt it on the door and put a light on it or it will fail MOT

Nothing wrong with 10W tailights! My VW is spec'd (written in the handbook and on the original "E" marked combination bulbholders) with them, between the 21W brake lamps and fog lamp (only on the right). So long as theres a resionable brightness difference between tail and brakelamps its fine. They must be matched pairs unless its a centre brakelamp. Fog lamps however can't be within 100mm of a brakelamp, and only need to be on the right hand side (they can however be a taillamp aswell, if the tail lamp has a matched pair on the other side - The current VW Transporter T5's is a good example of this, the fog lamp is the right hand tail lamp that gets much brighter (suspect its a 5/21W bulb), the brake lamps are out the way in the other end of the light cluster).

Combined yail/fog lights are nothing new, the Sierra S2 had them as did the Cavalier. I used to find I was replacing my brake light bulbs every year though as the sidleight was not there to pre-heat them.
