Cool $10 light mod ?

How many of you have made the right side rear fog light functional.

Cost 10$

Tell me what you think. It looks pretty cool at night.

It's not cool b/c the guy behind you will get mad. I will put my high beams on you if you have even just one rear fog light on when there is NO fog.

Americans don't know when the hell to properly use their fog lights and think they're cool.

And even in foggy condition, you'll justl ook like a clown who is braking... it's only on one side for a reason.

Return that $10 bulb, and get yourself a burger.

I have such hatred for clowns who drive w/ that frekaing rear foglight on when there is no fog, you have no idea.
There was that one ****ing woman in a jag who had it on in LA and I couldnt see ****. I was so pissed. I put my brights on her and she didnt do anything. I went in front of her and turn mine on, and she didn't do anything. a) stupid woman b) stupid driver.

well i dunno if you know, but I Got hit two weeks after i got it on Feb 8th I need a new bumper and left fender. Im thinking maybe going bodykit w/ Lorinser but I'd need to do everything + exhaust though So I dunno, most likely it'll stay stock for now. I just bought some wheels, I won't tell you what they are, but they are replicas I got them to hold me off until I get what I really want (Iforged or HRE).

Once the car is fixed, I will get some sound system in there. I have it lowered already and im on Brabus V replicas from my dad's right now. I need to lowering more, im on #5 pad in the back and #3 int he front, I need #1 all around

I need to get big brakes too, but probably later after i get custom wheels. I think for now I will clean the calipers free of that ugly rust and paint them black so it's clean and don't look like a poser w/ red stock caliper lol.

ok well ****, that was O/T

also for your information. it wasnt just a light bulb. it was splicing wire into other fog light. and getting the right pin from MB. I dont know I guess it was a dumb mod, but it bother me that only one would work lolz.

Thanks for the info, but its been done by many. Best to use a bulb with a lower wattage to match your normal driving lights, that way its less annoying to others, know what I mean?

Sorry OT! Man, that's bad....maybe its a sign to get that body kit changed. Lorinser eh, did you see the post by benchang88 with the used Lorinser kit (Evosport Simon aka Mr Vanos) for sale? Replica wheels...... I'm guessing those replica 2-pc AMG IV's...ASA's, no? Careful, all that torque will snap the spokes!

I agree with Doc on how annoying they are when not used properly....

Although they work really well against those that sit in your a$$ for no reason when you're already moving on the highway.

With the pull of the knob just look in the rear view and see how fast most back off. :v

My son's 2008 Audi A4 has TWO REAR FOG LIGHTS! from the factory! What's up with that? It looks like the brake lights are on all the time. I took the bulb out of the left side but an error message came up on the dash when he used them (in heavy rain). I thought there was a law about only having one rear fog.
