This should only turn on when the front fogs are on. The rear fog emits a bright red light and is typically used for safety reasons, i.e. to make your car visible from behind in the fog.

To the OP, if you have an MR, you will notice that you already have a 10A fuse in your fuse box for the rear fog lamp and the car and your taillight with the rear fog is already pre-wired. Good luck with this!
Thanks for the tip! I don't have an MR, but I have the front harness swapped for factory HIDs, I am not sure if it has what I need, but it would be cool if it did

Can you post a photo where both complete tail lights are visible? So both sides of your tails have red "reverse light projectors"? Or only one side?

^^^ sir, the UK tail lights with integrated rear fog only have one red projector (rear fog lamp) which is on the driver's side while maintaining the reverse indicator on the passenger's side tail light.




just to help out...pics of the UK rear fog tail light on my car




rear fog on:

Looks great man. I'm a big fan of the UK badging. Don't mind the haters.

Great, thanks for the clarification on the rear fog.

Where does one pick up a set of UK tails?
