curious about my foglight, and being foggy today, i took a quick pic of it... to me, it looks like a broken taillight. and although it looks yellow, its reddish.

Are the top segments of the tailights (next to the plexi-window) the reverse lights? I obviously can't tell from the driver's seat!

Having never seen a rear fog light it's one of the first things I had to see for myself when my car arrived.

The top clear plexi area is the brake light.

the rear fog lights are supposed to be just make the brake light brighter on one side.

rear foglight, part 2

avlis, nope, i don't know what those top clear parts are for. here's what it looks like when its in reverse... those reverse lights are HUGE!



quick note about the light knob. i usually have it on auto so to use the fog lights, naturally, i have to rotate it to on and then pull out 2x for both front and rear lights. when i rotate it back to auto, it will automatically self-pull-in to the inner position. so i don't have to push it back in first. nice little engineering.

Yes the top of the taillight that is clear on either side of the plexi windo is the brake lights. Below that is the Reverse light, then the turn signals.

Avlis, the clear window at the top of the taillight is the brake light as I stated above. When the brakes are applied it forms a light triangle.
