EVO-R vs OEM Rear Fog

CDepp

Why would you want a dim fog light? It's considered a safety item for fog as it's very bright and visible through dense fog. Trying to mimic it would be to go brighter. Making it dim makes it appear, maybe just to me, that the attempt was made with a cheap alternative to the real deal.

Now, doing something different with that spot has a different effect. So, if you have it strobe/flash like a formula brake and never stay solid, that would be cool and no longer a 'fog' light.

I don't look at it as a fog light. I look at it as a rear driving light like the tails. The Japanese/Canadian OEM fog is wired to be a 7440 using 25 watts and that matches the brightness of the brake lights. Way too bright for just driving around in an area where we see fog maybe 1 day a year.

Nissan made the call we didn't need one at all, at least mine glows.

I bought my EVO-R light solely for the blinking feature. I've got it wired for "on" with the brakes, and "blink" for reverse.

It's strictly bling for me. Not too much fog in Houston to deal with.

Oy! It's a fog light. In America, you don't have it installed. Taking a bulb fixture out of a side marker doesn't mean it's no longer a side marker.

I didn't mean to get people riled up. I just wanted you to know it reminds me, and others, of people slapping 'TypeR' stickers on non-TypeR cars, or putting on fake vents. (it serves only to 'look' like what the real deal actually does)

If you swing through some MB, Audi, and BMW forums, you can find people complaining that their EU car has one brighter taillight when they turn on their fogs. They actually think it's a defect rather than a feature.
