If it worked when you pressed the brake, it wouldn't be a fog lamp. If your car has the fog lamp, it would be activated by rotating the headlight switch on the turn signal another stop further. You'd also have a fog lamp symbol for this additional switch location on the yolk. However, if I recall correctly, the Canadian version doesn't have the fog lamp. I could be wrong so someone correct me if I am.

Canadian version DOES come with working rear FOG light. I don't know where's the switch. One of the Canadian Z owner maybe able to help OP.

According to the manual it's on the turn signal stock (rotating switch)...if you can't find it there then you can always ask the service manager at your dealer.

2014 Roadster US spec. Butt red but stalk has no fog position. Would not be internationally recognised foglamp if only on with "high beam" anyway!
What 'button'? I don't see one.
Had resigned to accepting that they had fitted red for cosmetics only, and that it was purely non-functional.
Go on.. show me wrong and make my day.

uuhhhhh... Learn to spell and use grammar lol. Maybe reading comprehension too.
You obviously understood that they were talking about a stock foglight being installed on some 370z's. That's where you need to pay attention, they were talking about 370z's in Canada, not the US.
Any Z I know, which I live in the US, comes with the red fog reflector which as you said was "purely non-functional" which isn't true again. Since they have a purpose as a reflector they're not "purely non-functional". As for there not being a button or being the switch being internationally recognized, that is where you are wrong yet again.

This is the Fog Light switch. Same side as the High beams, So yes it is internationally known on the high beam side


Button.. Button... Whose got the button... AH!!


As you can see some of the aftermarket Foglights come with the center console switch to make things easier so you don't have to uninstall and reinstall the steering column lever controls, which apparently you need along with a new helmet for Christmas, just to add one position and mark of paint on one lever.

Now that I've proved you wrong at every aspect of what you just stated besides your name and type of Z you have, Have I made your day? Cause your idiocy has made me grin quite a bite

This is just for $hits and giggles

Seems like he was mad about something regarding stock Fog lights in Z's in Canada and the Red reflectors using high beams in the US. Then something about how it doesn't make international sense for a car to have the fog light switch near the high beams because they look the same. Then he tries to find a button. Then tells AK to make his day by proving him wrong.

And then probably picked his nose and $hit his pants.

So I decided to prove him wrong... got bored
