If I can do brake brighter, I'll throw that in but it's not a deal breaker.

I don't think a fog, modified to match the tail lights in brightness tends towards the cheapness of the plastic plate. An
apple doesn't tend towards an orange. It's apple and oranges.

You only plan to drive in SoCal?
To me, again, having a dim light where a bright light goes seems cheap. Maybe it's just me, but it appears that the attempt was made, but not met, to make the device look like a fog lamp. Then again, I've been driving all over, including much of EU in the past, and I expect to see more things that what's only inclusive to SoCal.
I would look at a Z with an actual fog lamp, and one with a dim fog light, and think to myself, "What's wrong with the Z with the dim fog"?
If I saw two Z's and one had a strobe-brake light effect and no constant-on illumination, and one with a standard fog, I would think to myself, "Wow! they really did something different with the fog light area".

So, I guess if you never leave SoCal, a dim fog lamp may be just the thing for you.



EDIT: Go brighter, at all expense. Don't make a Z look half-***-ed. Just my not-so-humble opinion.
