If they are there they both have to work, I think thats the score anyway. Rear only needs one on the Offside I think.

Rear offside one works although there is a bulb holder & metal tracking on the n/s one. I thought one was ok though!!
Front o/s one works, n/s one doesnt!! Some clown snipped the plug clean off & ive not had time to fix it. Any short term bodge I can do to get it through the MOT??

You could remove the switch and say its not a standard front bumper

The same switch operates the front aswell as the rear though, so that might not work

fronts aren't tested for MOT, but they do legally need to work properly if they are fitted. basically a copper could still fine you for it, even though its not an MOT item.

aslong as it isn't excessive, thats fine.
and to answer your earlier question, one rear fog light is fine.

I thought they were tested in an MOT, maybe wrong then.
