just wanted to know if anyone had a write up for this? i jsut recently recieved my rear light in the mail and it didnt come with any instructions on installation. also, im not really sure where to cut my bumper. i only have one shot at this so i gotta get it right. i already searched and nothing came up. the light will be going on an EJ8. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Wtf is a REAR foglight?

 

ha ha i was thinking the same thats why i was checking this out. is it so when you go in reverse you can have more light to see. if so i would just use the positive from your reverse light 12v when in reverse only. use it to trip a relay to activate your fog light if you go straight to the wire with the fog light it might be high current and burn out your factory fuse or wire. i will draw a diagram for you or do you want it to be switched so you can blind someone tailgating you ha ha

 

Yeah I was wondering "wtf is a rear foglight" for a hot second too.. then I remembered...

I want rear fog lights because they really help when backing up in the dark, like when i first damaged my car, it was because i couldn't see where i was backing up.

Kinda like the ones on the Pontiac Grand Am.. bright and low.

 

it's on the driver side, take off your back bumper and see if there's an indention to use as a cut pattern

 

In Europe they have foglites in the rear so that in the fog the person behind you can see the car in front of them

that's right.... it's to let other people see your car when it's foggy... from what all I can gather, it's supposed to be red and as bright as/brighter than the brake lights, and is supposed to be on the side of the driver... afaik, some cars just get the bumper cut out like those above, others (eg hatches, for example) have it built into the tail light assembly. Depending on what your car was supposed to have, there may be a factory mounting location in the bumper... may want to check on that.

 

interesting..o d i e e where can i get one of those?

 

never seen one of those before

 

i have the rear fog light (also going on a ej8) i ordered it form icb when i asked matt if there was a specific spot he said no just make sure it strait good luck cutn that hole if u find sumthang i couldnt let me know

 

What cars did they originally come from?
