Rear fog light W222,
 

Dear friends,
What are rear fog light, Mercedes Benz W222 ?
If you have a photo,I would like to see it.
Greetings from Bulgaria

The US S550 does not have fog lights (front or rear).

Thanks !

i would say the rear fog light is the same as the rear fog light on the w221... the car has to have one, here in germany it is law. since it is made here, i dont see them leaving it out.

EXCEPT on the W221 there is a light switch to turn the fog lights on or off (including rear). That switch is removed on the US version; only the European version has the option, which is a push button to the left of the headlight rotary switch.

Had a very very close call so realize I need a rear fog.

Talked to Mercteil, it seems easy enough.

Maybe with enough interest, we can do a group buy?

S63/65
~half of the 999 EUR of the diffuser kit

S550 with sport package
999 EUR rear diffuser kit, which basically gives you the S63 rear end - AMG tail pipes, diffuser, ornamental moldings

S550 standard requires a rear sport bumper and the rear diffuser kit - unsure how much a rear bumper costs

PM me if interested

Is the white section in the center rear Backup white LED lighting and the fog lights the Red left and right is lit up?

Also, does it connect to factory wiring?

No, see the yellow circle - that is the entire rear fog lamp. It is a clear housing but illuminates red.

As for factory wiring, I'm sure it's possible but I'm not sure how/where it is integrated into the car. I've had enough issues in past wiring additional lights to factory systems that I prefer installing a separate switch but to each his own. I usually go on the side of the steering column.

Rear fog wiring is very simple, see the attached figure. The main problem would be to control the rear-SAM to turn the light on. Would need the fog light switch and some version coding to activate it.

Even better so there's OEM parts for non sport pkg W222s, including picture here

I think this looks great...... Cant you just tap existing wiring from trunk and have it turn on with your normal rear lights? I'd have no problem leaving it on all the time....

Not a good idea to have your rear mounted fog light on all the time.

It's very bright and thus dazzles anyone following.

Many US drivers not familiar with this light as few, if any, North American built cars come with it. Thus some drivers are not aware its even there, some drivers drive with it on all the time and a few knowledgeable ones deploy it as intended.

The problem is driving with the light on when visibility is good, oft times is cause for road rage.
