You could always install a separate switch for it but I rather integrate it into my stock switch.
yea im not really a fan of aftermarket switches if it can be prevented.. by "stock switch" you mean the regular fog switch right

i ask this because i noticed i had a separate fuse slot for rear fog in my fuse bo

Actually, I just used 1 of the wire and light bulb from the STOCK side marker lights that came factory on the back bumper. So it lights up once I turn on my lights on.

Hmm, I like that idea more than running new wires lol, Looks like that's what I'm going to do

I didn't like dealing w/ FQ Performance, They took forever to reply to my emails and said they shipped it out but then told me they didn't have it in stock and their shipments never came in. Took 2 months and still no fog light so I'm going to get my money back.

on the subject of rear fogs, while it does appear that this is being done for show here in the US, it's actually a useful safety measure when driving in degraded visibility areas. however, since it emits a bright red light, it would be best not to have this always on all the time. if you have a front fog light switch, better if you just tap it to that switch so you can turn them on and off. there's actually a rear fog switch available as well in UK/europe which appears to be half the size of the USDM fog light switch.

while the UKDM rear fogs are indeed a rarity here (only ones i've seen so far are the 2 evos in this thread and a white one with white TEs in the bay area), they are for UK cars, which means they are installed on the right side to match their RHD vehicles. IMO, the EUDM taillight cluster with the integrated rear fog on the left side best matches the US LHD vehicles, if we are talking about the proper use of the rear fog in the strictest sense. just my 2 cents.

yeah I found that out after I made the hole for it and got it painted lol. oh well. It's not blinding at all since I used the same bulb and wires from the side bumper. It emits the same light as the tail lights without braking.

Not sure how rare, but the ones I see on here are not for the stock manifolds. Oh, and the
cap is real.
