Rear Fog Lamps?

[mr.swackhammer]

hiya all

I noticed that there are rear fog lamps on some european spec AE101...
can anyone show me how the rear fog lamps lights actually are?

any info is highly appreciated, thanks.

As far as I know the rear fog light is integrated into the light cluster, which appears to be no different from other parts of the world. The rear fog is on the inner edge of the cluster.
The only thing I could think of that might be different, I am just guessing here, is that European spec have double wire bulb for tail/brake light and another bulb for the fog. Whereas other places have one bulb for the tail light and another for the brake light, thus having the brake light occupy the space where the fog bulb goes for europe spec cars.

I see, can't you have them both lit? the rear fog I mean?

The problem with rear fog lights on both sides, integrated into the tail lights, is that they are confused as brake lights. So, you either see them on only one side, or on both sides in separate housings.

The euro spec tail lights use the inner red lamp on the driver's side as fog, only the outer is parking/brake.

Here is a link to some swedish search engine for used cars. This one is a red sedan. The front extra lights are custom installation, rather ugly too.

^^^ perfect pic there... shows it exactly. I actually think that it looks better with only the outer lights on (but with the fog off )

[mr.swackhammer]

thank you all sirs for the headup!
it is great feature I must say, presumably under bad or heavy snow. Wish I could have one here! (the lamp of course)

btw, that red sedan is the cleanest sedan I've ever seen!

i think he's a honda guy lol i was looking for one on the bumper too, but then also remember that edm eg's came with them in the actual tailight.

OFF TOPIC: If i were looking for edm parts for my 7th gen what chassis code would i be using? AE101

OK, so NOW I get it that they put "foglamps" in an unconventional place, but what good are they in fog if they are in the back??

Clue me in I'm willing to learn.
