Rear fog light question

Does anyone you know of or have pictures of a rear Fog light on the european/asian G sedan? I know many hate them (especially when not used properly) I think they are a excellent safety feature in rain or other inclement weather. I would like to install one in my G but need some information on placement and switches

I would be one that thinks this has potential to be hated...

However, if I lived in an area that thought it would truly be a benefit, I'd tap into the existing fogs. Wiring front to rear might pose a challenge, but would be worth it to know that front and rear fogs were on always at the same time.

If you actually had an OEM rear fog light and turned it on while evading, your car would actually be easier to see/follow than if you didn't & it won't blind anyone behind you.
Once you learn / find out what a "rear fog light" is, you'll agree.
The text that I colored, is a hint...

I'd love to have these so I can turn them on in response to those who leave their fog lights on all the time.

I leave my fogs on all the time. Better visibility if you ask me and down here in Miami with all these non-driving a$$holes, its best you have as many lights on as possible because they act as if they dont see you otherwise.

Most of you still don't have a clue. A "rear fog light" is merely a very bright red light in addition to the regular ones in the rear.
Steveo47, obviously you were kidding, but then again you thought a rear fog light was a white (normal) light.
