pretty much in the states people just throw a led into the housing and splice it to the tail lights..essentially it's an extra tail light/brake light but sits lower on the vehicle's rear

I admit I like the extra visibility fogs give to potholes in the city (stronger/longer shadow) and have never owned a vehicle that let me use them in fog without headlights. I've driven in fog bad enough it would have helped twice, so... eh.

For some reason that reminds me of the mod I made on my old car to let me run the defrost without the A/C kicking in automatically.

So many tweaks I'd like to make... so much invested on trying to compensate for my not-quite-enough driving skills... maybe I'll give up racing and just have fun with the car other ways... but then I'd probably rarely be driving the car, and would prefer the utility of a wagon... if only a 3 car garage fit on the property (the lot is 25 feet wide)
It gets super foggy on the regular here. Multiple times a year talking visability below 100 ft. I plan to wire a rear fog to my fronts so they arent on all the time but I do like the extra visibility to cars behind me and the front help some but also just add extra for oncoming cars since I drive a lot of undivided highways as well.

Yeah, small tweaks make a big difference. Love that all my doors unlock with one click instead of two and they stay unlocked longer for when i have to put atuff in the trunk first or whatever. Also, the passenger seatbelt alarm being silent is really nice
