Rear Fog

spiderman · 02-03-2009, 03:49 PM

I modified my Audi as it came with the left rear fog light. All I had to do was remove the right rear light housing, dremmel out the fog light section which was pre-wired, and insert a fog light bulb I picked up at Audi for $3. Hit my rear fog switch and both rear fog lights came on.

On the 370Z, I wonder if it's as simple as removing the rear cover and putting in a fog light bulb. Of course we'd have to find the red fog light lens cover like the one in Europe, and I'm not sure if it's pre-wired and has a switch inside.

I might not be up on the whole rear fog thing...however, I was at my local dealer Sunday and there it was - a red cover right in the middle of the rear bumper. When I stated I thought the automatic rear fog lamp wasn't on the US cars, the salesman told me it was. Now, is it operational? I guess so.

Gang,

I am still not convinced that that thing is indeed a rear fog light. Why in the devil would Nissan place a rear fog light on a car that they didn't even place "Front Fog" lights on?? Can someone answer me that?? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Hope You understand that there should only be a fog on one side by design. Wasn't meant to have two lights, makes people think the brakes are being applied ( or that your having a brakelight switch malfunction)
I usually buy the Euro light switch & establish a rear fog on my VW & Audi's I've had. (or code it if needed)
