Sweet. Any one got pics of the rear fogs?

Here's a post of mine from about a year ago on this very same matter.

I totally Agree, I think they should make rear foglights mandatory
I used to live in the UK and with all the rain and fog we get over there it is surprising how much a little bright red light can help.
But there is also a down side too, if it is not either of these conditions then the light can be distracting, and usually the front and rear foglights have separate switches which means that quite a few people forget that they have the rear fog light on. I think they need to have the switch reset itself when you turn the ignition off.

Just read you other post,
Did you have any luck acquiring the parts for the rear Fog lamp flush mounted set up.
I am interested in trying to get a hold of one and the official mitsu dashboard switch.
I agree 100% about the way they drive over here.

I'm going to add a rear lamp, but I am going to wire it myself to actuate when my factory fog lamps are on. Of course, I have to add the factory fog lights, since I have the RS. I'm swapping to the MR head lamps (already got the tail lamps) and I'll be adding fog lamps / rear fog lamp at that time.

To fit the USDM Evo foglights on the JDM Evo MR headlamps, you must use a 9006 bulb/socket, just splice, crimp and insulate the wires, you can get it at your local auto parts store.

90GSX-03EVO said.... Damn dude.....I have a USDM version Evo. Mine didn't come with the rear fog lamp you are talking about. I know all about the wiring that you are wondering about, including where you need to splice in to make your rear fog lamp work again.

If you know the wiring for the rear fog light, please share with me.... I need your knowlenge....
