If your cars doesn't have a rear fog light, what does the red centered triangle on the rear do on your cars? (That's the rear fog light on my car.)

We don't have a rear fog in America. It's just a weird red triangle. There is a kit available that installs a light in it so it's functional

Have no idea how effective they will be since it is too cold to install them right now. Be better than the nothing I have now though.

Yep. It is just a reflector and not a very effective one at that.

No rear fog lights at all on any cars, or just the FR-S?
Rear fog lights are a good thing, making cars visible from further away; preventing accidents in low visibility conditions.
Also a bad thing, many people don't know they have them, ignore the indicator light on the dash and drive around with the rear fog lights on all the time; annoying the crap out of me.

I use mine to obtain street cred. I turn them on when driving through car culture areas. It's cool because it's illegal. Marks me as a real badass anarchist.

There may be some high end ones with them but I don't know what they would be. All in all I would probably get pulled over if I had this weird light glowing on the back of my car.
Why would it be illegal to have fogs on? Only OK when it is foggy? I like that law!

All cars. I think since cars have their tails on all the time though. I run my tails and aftermarket fog at all times

Tails aren't rear fog lights. What cars have tails on all the time anyway? Mine aren't. Only the DLRs in front are on all the time.
Running fogs all the time with these isn't so bad but some SUVs and trucks have them so high they can blind me when they pull up behind.

I don't know which ones but I've seen a couple cars with their tails on during the day. Maybe they hit their headlights on accident or something

My wife just leaves her's on all the time and lets the auto off turn them off so maybe lots of others do that as well.

Thats probably the most suitable place for that many.

Soooo, it's supposed to be 7C and sunny here this weekend. If this holds true it'll be a fun weekend with the FR-S!

I'm in a similar boat. Drove the FRS for the first time in a month on Saturday.

All the ricers around town have a light bulb in the rear fog housing tied to their parking lights thinking they are as cool as wearing their pants really low without knowing what it's really meant for.

Annoying as hell under clear conditions especially during bumper to bumper traffic.
