Some1 shoulda made a rear light conversion to use one of the reverse lights as a fog. i'd do it but i've already got the nasty rear fog light.

You can also convert the inner brake lights to fogs, a much neater job IMO.

Not in Ireland - in the UK a rear fog is required.

As it's not foggy here in Ireland, they're not needed.
