F1 Style Rear Blinker

The reality is that the Z taillights alone are very bright and probably negate the need for a rear fog light. The blinking reverse light is a nice touch given that rearward views in the car are terrible and the blinking light might be helpful for other drivers to notice the Z backing up. I'm not sure having that light blink while braking is street-legal...and again it's redundant. I'm loving the reverse blinking idea though.

The way I would use it is just tether it to the lights, if I turn my lights on the fog light is one.

I’m not expert on this issue but it’s my understanding that the reason why U.S. spec. 370s don’t have a functional real fog light is because the fog light provided for Euro and Can spec vehicles don’t confirm to U.S. regulations.

Now, as a practical matter, I doubt anyone would get pulled over by a LEO if they are using a rear fog light as a true rear fog light (that is, turned on in foggy/low visibility conditions, etc.). However, I would be cautious about using the rear fog light as an additional brake light or other use that may attract attention you don’t want.

I've got the J-spec light and am waiting on a switch from Japan (to mount in the center counsel in the empty space between the two heated seat switches) so that I can turn the light on/off manually as desired...hopefully that will work out as intended.

Precisely why they don't supply these types of things in the U.S. We're lucky we even get brights the way these people around here are.

sounds cool enough but I would rather have a rear camera mounted behind it (with smoked plastic not black obviously)

Who says it has to be on always though then, yes I did in my post which the way I want it. You know how bad drivers are already do you really think a bright light will be a distraction? No, if anything it will give better warning to other drivers of where you are always.

I'd be in depending on price. I get worried while backing up, so the more visible the better.
