Spud- They are wired inline with the headlights and controlled by a lighted switch on the dash in that blank space next to the rear defroster. The rear fogs are only supposed to be used when there is heavy fog out during the day or evening. Those things are veryvery bright and work like a charm.

It is an MOT failure if the switch for them is not illuminated or there is no rear fog lamp at all.

I can try and go out when it starts to get dark and grab a picture if ya like. If I didiit after dark it would just flood the camera with light.

Did you also notice we have those little 'jelly beans' on the front fenders too?

lol ya the markers are a bit ugly but they have to be there so as to idiot proof the roundabouts. ( I still haven't gotten the hang of those completly though.) Good thing is the only come on when you signal .

The switch has to be illuminated exactly for that reason. They are bright *** he** but in the fog they are perfect.

Unlike front fog lamps they are not so much set up for cutting the fog so you can see but more for helping others see you. I know that makes no sence but you get my drift. lol

I'm telin ya they need these wherever it gets foggy, it would decrease rear enders like no other. You can get a nasty ticket for having them on when there is no fog.

I don't know if it would be legal to have rear fog lamps though. Icouldcheck at thedealer and see what they go for over here. What's the asking price there?
I have seen these lights go anywhere from $200 to $400 over here.
