The 3rd Globe in the Evo Headlights?

Can anyone shed any light (no pun intended) on what the inside (3rd) globe does in the cluster of our Evo8 headlights?

I have read the manual cover to cover and the only thing I can find is that it is only for show. Could it be a JDM fog-light?

Thanks

I'd assume fogs in AUS would be uselful... Watch out for that Wallaroo!

Does the middle light do nothing on your car? Where your ACD button is is where our foglight button is... I guess you guys got the long straw!

I've been wondering the same thing - where is the switch for the front foggies?

Ok had a proper look. Doesn't look like we get fog lights. Ive just been looking at the usdm lights and they have a globe going into the hole. That sucks!

Thanks guys. Strange that we don't get them. They are great for the Roos down south.

The centre light in our cluster is te High Beam.

Yeah, true, I think getting the ACD is the better of the two

I think the Japanese spec Evolution VIII has HIDs, foglights, and ACD so where do they fit the buttons?

Ryan, we don't get the fold in mirrors on Oz spec cars. There is a button for the single rear foggy, down near the headlight adjustment toggle.
