Seems like the law makers must be on pretty much the same wavelength as me :roll:
Rear fogs are one of those things that should be on cars here in the states, I'll never understand our DOT. My SAAB has one, of course it was delivered without the bulb in place to keep the DOT happy. I use it whenever it's raining, foggy or we're having brush fires and the smoke starts up, makes a big difference in making my car visibile to cars coming up from behind. I think, only Volvo, SAAB and Jaguars have them even in place on US models. Mini actually removes them and puts a blanking plate in place. :roll:
