Here it is... but it's a french one



.orig.jpg to the end to have the full image...

 

does every car have it on the left??

 

I believe LHD = left and RHD = right.

 

I Kinda Like it. Prolly Not worth the extra effort to get it tho.

 

You Are Correct Sir.

 

I wonder if a police officer would stop you for that. You could contest that it's a fourth brake light, but if it's not legal, you'd probably get a ticket for all the extra effort at the end of the day...

That light in the bumper is a rear fog light. Some cars in the us have them as well nothing illegal about them

 

Here it is again... on a right hand drive this time.

 

Here´s some pics:

 

In my opinion its very ugly! It is also very bright and annoying when switched on as George said. The rear bumper would look much smoother if it was like the 98 Jdm.

But it can be very annoying. 55w in your face at night when there's no fog or rain is useless.

There are very, very few places in the USA that have the kinds of fogs that would necessitate rear fog lights in the UK and Europe.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I installed one on my car and wired the OEM one on my girlfriend's car (both 21 watt, which is what most factory rear fog lamps are) and it is useful in low visibility conditions. Do they annoy following drivers? Perhaps, but I'd rather have an annoyed driver than one who rear-ends me (which I can unfortunately confirm is <U>not</U> a pleasant experience).

edit: With regard to the ITR rear fog lamp, I don't think it looks bad, but I'm not sure why Honda didn't choose to incorporate it into one of the reverse lights like certain manufacturers have done (e.g. Mercedes G-series, VW New Beetle). It was probably more cost effective on those cars since the reverse lights are separate, which wouldn't involve retooling the tail lamp assembly.

I know everyone is thinking about it but nobody is posting it so I'll do it ...

How much to get one of these shipped to the US ??? And, How complicated is the modification to the USDM bumper ??

Good question. Those bumpers obviously come with the opening for the fog light, so I wonder if there's some sort of built-in support, or if it's just a matter of cutting and installing.

 

Well not so much about installing it, but what colers do thay have in europe do thay have py, And how much will this bumpr run about.

 

I want one of those bumpers so bad..

 

It looks like a birth mark..... a bad one.

Or you could just buy the light and do some measuring and cut out the opening yourself. Theres a concept.

 

totally pointless

 

I don't understand you Americans. That thing is ugly but it's necessary and sometimes useful. European cars usually have the rear foglight intergrated in the rear lights.

Some people like it, some don't. What made you so hard to understand?

 

what is the rear foglight for? does it come on with the parking lights when you turn your lights on? or does it come on with the brake lights? what is the main purpose of it?

I'll take a stab. Maybe with routes like the autobahn and other no-speed limit routes they figured seeing the cars was a good thing. In fog your brake lights/rear lights might not cut through the conditions, but that fog light might just make you visible to traffic coming up onto you.
