I got pulled over yesterday for driving with my rear foglight on. The police officer said that it looked like I was pressing the brake light while I was driving, and that it looked like my one brake light was fused (since there is only one rear foglight). However, when I pulled over, I shut off the foglight, and he let me go. Does anyone know if driving with a rear foglight on is legal.

Thanks a lot.

it is but most cars dont have em and when tehy see that YOU do, its strange :P

it's legal as long as u have it as far to the side as possible... and it's usually just one side only. i think i read somewhere having both sides (as far apart as possible) is ok too...but not recommended.

that cop may have been bored...but at least he let u go..or maybe he just doesn't know.

mb has a stupid thing...the front fogs are connected to the rear fogs...can't separate them. so if u decide to use the fronts, the rear r turned on...unless u rewire...

if you take out your rear fog will you get a light out in the cluster?

i did that on my A4 long time ago and no light came on

i just find it annoying to have only 1 side rear fog
europe is both sides so doesn't look so gay
they really do help in fog though

I don't believe if you turn on your front fog lights, that your rear one will come on. Example, in my 94, you pull the light switch outward once, that turns on teh front fog's, and once more, then you can turn on the rear if necessary. I think this is true with all benzes. I know for sure it's like that in the C, S and ML's, except the ML has that switch under the radio.

To activate front fogs, pull the knob out one stop. To activate front and rear fogs, pull the knob out two stops. (See the owner's manual.)

Can someone show me a pic. of their rear fog light ON please. I want to see something.

on the c36, it's sorta like that. pull out one stop, and it's the street lights (diff from the normal low beam headlights, shines from where the high beams are). pull out two stop, and those go away, while the fogs in the front amg air dam and the left rear light goes on.

ok going to pull that bulb out now

yuck, light out light in dash turns on if you pull out rear fog

i guess you could clear out the code but prolly will turn on every time unless theres an option to turn off that whole check light completely off

CEOMB,

Do you have foglights on both the left and right tail? I only know that I have one foglight on the left side of my car. My car is a 1997 C230.

Thanks,

pks485, with my key on in the number 2 position or the engine running and my lights on, I can pull out the headlight switch and my front fog lamps come on, I can pull one more time and the left rear fog lamp comes on only. Now with my key out, I can turn my headlight switch to the left and my right rear fog lamp and right front park light comes on, turn switch left one more time and the left rear fog lamp and left front park light comes on. Hope this is not to confusing, I read about this in my manual.

Hope this helps.

I remember taking my car back to the dealership when I first got my car cause a lifght was blown out. They kept it for the day and next day told me it wasn;t blown out but was a foglight.
