Anyone look into this?
I know it comes on the European models... so Im pretty sure we can somehow mod something to make this work (I know its simple wiring on NA VW\'s and Ive seen the Volvo S40 with the rear fog too).

A red or clear bright lamp used to give more visibility to drivers behind you. In UK I think it\'s mandatory to have them. The rear fog is the brighter light at the bottom of the tailamp.

Some cars in NA already have a rear fog light (Volvo, Audi, BMW).
It is ALOT brighter and especially helps in really bad weather. Our cars have an indicator on the cluster (obviously its in active) so Im pretty sure this can be done.
