Is there anyway to install a second rear foglight? I have turned on my rear foglight 3 times, but 2 of which I got pulled over, because some cop thought one of my break lights were out. In my RS6, there is 2 fogs - one for each side.

Has anyone installed a second one?

 

did you explain to the cop it was the fog not tail/brake lights?? A demo maybe of how it all works??
I think US standard spec. is to only have one fog...

 

Yes, of course. They let me go. But its annoying.

 

I agree - ask Loren or Tool Pants at Renntech as I remeber someone doing a second foglight...you have to run a wire from rear driver light to rear passenger light...

 

I used to get pulled over in my S4 all of the time for this same reason.

 

no shank. they pulled u over because they want to check out ur GT2. if u put 2 in they'll pull u over for "sir, ur rear light is to bright"

 

StephenTi's dad got pulled over for having xenon lights, and was ticketed. He had a small article on this in Car and Driver magazine. I think the midwest cops need to be updated with new technologies.

are they still riding horse & cow over there??

 

Shank, My friend had a stereo shop do the 2nd one on his E430 so that both sides would light, talk to a stereo shop.

 

I recall seeing an item on the PCA tech board about this. I think the right side has the socket and maybe even a bulb in place. A brake light out? What did you do - stop the with your left foot dragging out the door? Assuming you stopped for the cop while s/he was still behind you, using the brake pedal as most of us try to do, the real brake lights would have come on! Ah, our ever-vigilant law enforcement officers! Well, I guess by the time they had their lights flashing they had to complete the stop.

 

Were you using the rear fog because it was foggy out? Or were you just being cool? Everything I've read on why there is just one convinces me it wouldn't be safe (or in any case it would be pointless) to have both sides light.

The reason the car is set up for both is to simplify outfitting the car for RHD.

 

It was foggy, with thick snow flakes. But I though I was cool anyway.

 

Shank,
Note that I edited my post with some links. Maybe you could educate the local law enforcement? All cops should know about them, as they are becoming more common. The cop should note the third brakelight to decide you are using your brakes.

 

I've seen the DIY before, but can't seem to find it right now... Will post as soon as I find it...
