I've only used the fogs (very bright) on my Cooper S about 1/2 a dozen times in the last year, mainly in the rain, don't think I've ever been in the fog with it.

So my thoughts with the Z is too put in a lower watt bulb (same strength as tails) so that it's on all the time. And if at all possible maybe wire it up into the brake assembly. This way it works just like a 3rd tail light. I think this is a unique signature of the 370, having it on all the time will offer the best rear visibility for safety on any night. Otherwise, I think I may just purchase the Nismo rear diffuser and do away with it all together.
