Rear Fog Light

[02redgalant]

Anybody USDM installed rear fogs?....been browsing some over sees VR4 forums..I've seen alotta guys integrate it into the rear bumper with actual fogs and/or for the 3rd gens modify the bubble on the corresponding driver side to turn on

yeah, european cars over here have them too... benz, porsche, audi, and bmw have them stock. most people don't even know when they have them on! on benz switches, if you pull out the knob 1 click the front fogs come on, 2 clicks the rear fog is added, most people just pull all the way out 2 stops and never realize they have the rear fog on (since they never see the rear of their car when they are driving). the easiest way to see this is that one of their tailights looks bright and the other looks normal, when they are not on the brakes.

to do it on any tail light, you can replace one of the single filament bulbs w/a dual filament (parking light for instance) and have the second filament be activated as the rear fog). alternatively you can use a red-white switchback bulb to make one of your reverse lights a red fog that will turn white when you reverse.

Whats the purpose of the rear foglight?

its just like another break light/reflector.i like it.i was going to do this awhile ago but never got around to it. trigger was gonna get me a set

I thought it had something to do with Visability. Like when theres a whiteout or something, they would turn it on or whatever so other drivers can see them. I know alot of evo people have them on their cars. I personally like it.

[Reelax]

when it's a single rear fog it is usually on the driver's side.

In most euro cars (volvos bmw benz)

its in the tail light assembly like in that bmw the illumunited inner part of the assembly

i think you missed the whole point of the thread...its used for inclement weather/low visibilty situations to avoid some dummy from rear ending you..

hid in the reverse lights=fail
