Well Europen cars have them for fog, its a red light that stays on when driving in fog so that people can see you. Ususally brighter than tail light\parking lights. My uncle has one on his 911 he got in Germany.

One of the late model Oldsmobiles, Alero maybe, has those, and they're annoying as hell cuz it looks like the person is braking when they're really not.

JDM goin out of style, in with the euro spec hondas.

i always wondered why nobody ever wanted any of the euro parts for the hondas, but they drooled over the JDM parts that usually have NO visual difference at all.

No...its a rear fog light. Every car in europe has to have one.

Most cars have them in their taillight (like my EJ9)......others have them as an extra light (mostly older Hondas and Tegs).
