anyone run rear fog lights? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I have a first gen 3000gt ( well a stealth converted to a 3000gt) and I'm running a single shot exhaust, I thought maybe to fill in the other exhaust opening in the bumper I'd get a rear fog light. Has anyone done this?

Since you can get a ticket for a broken taillight for being too bright, I would not recommend it.

What the hell do you need a light facing rear for anyway? Is this a joke?

Rear fog lights are required in some countries. We've installed them on 3S's that we ship overseas.

Ever get behind a Mercedes with an annoying taillight? That was it's rear foglight.

I think the extra exhaust hole would be a cool place to put it.

Well, you learn something new every day.

I have never seen or heard of it.

My Audi S4 has a rear 'fog light' but it is probably not what you think... Above the rear driver's taillight is a bright LED (a bit brighter than a brake light) that stays on constantly (when activated) so that cars behind you can see you sooner in a fog. Putting a regular driving fog light in the back at the bottom of the bumper is just stupid -- in my opinion. But's its your car, do what you want!

IMO I wouldn't try it, but if you are gonna try it it would be interesting to put it there. What inspired this idea Matt?

annoyance of the open hole.

Was looking at different GTO and JDM pictures to change my desktop background and came across the idea, saw a picture of an s2000 with one and figured it might be a neat idea. Obviously the support on the idea isn't great but I'd figured I throw it out there.
