Default Puma Fog lights??

Can anyone tell me how many working fogs there are on a Ford Puma?

My mums mate needs to get his Puma mot'd, it has a broken reflector cover on one of the fogs and so needs replacing anyway, but he is saying that it doesn't work...is this a case of the same as the escort, one works and one is just a fake or is it that it should work and its a problem with wiring or the unit itself?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies!

I found out that to pass an MOT a car has to have at least 1 rear fog working and it has to be on the offside of the car!

I just rung n spoke to him, it is the offside that doesn't work but he has now informed me if it had a bulb in it that it will work, so have told him to replace to the fog light, there is one on ebay for like £40 delivered! He then told me he going to take it for MOT as it is and see what they say, I have told him not to be stupid, then he tells me that the windscreen has a crack in it across the drivers view

So now have made him realise how stupid it would be to take it for the MOT with both of those immediate failures! What an idiot!

The Puma has 2 working fog lights at the rear, not one.

Thanks for that! As i replied above works out that it does work, just he needs to replace the right one as it has no reflective cover on it as its been smashed previous to him owning the car!

just need to find out now how much to replace the windscreen, not gonna be cheap as its heated and no insurance at the mo!

You can get red / orange lens repair tape from halfords to repair a cracked lens, as long as it shines red light then it will be fine. I very much doubt it will fail because there is no reflector on the o/s, but if it does, then blue-tack a reflector off a bicycle on there. It's what i did to get an old car of mine through the mot when i had different rear lights on it with no reflectors, and of course, it 'fell off' on the way home!

thanks!

I have since been told that when it has a bulb in it that it works, so yes both work just need to replace the unit now lol got a price of £15 inc postage so happy with that!

Also got a price for replacing the screen...non heated: £185 and heated £250, very good prices me thinks!

As long as the fog light on the osr/drivers rear works it will be ok for the mot.
