The reality is that the Z taillights alone are very bright and probably negate the need for a rear fog light. The blinking reverse light is a nice touch given that rearward views in the car are terrible and the blinking light might be helpful for other drivers to notice the Z backing up. I'm not sure having that light blink while braking is street-legal...and again it's redundant. I'm loving the reverse blinking idea though.

The way I would use it is just tether it to the lights, if I turn my lights on the fog light is one.

I’m not expert on this issue but it’s my understanding that the reason why U.S. spec. 370s don’t have a functional real fog light is because the fog light provided for Euro and Can spec vehicles don’t confirm to U.S. regulations.

Now, as a practical matter, I doubt anyone would get pulled over by a LEO if they are using a rear fog light as a true rear fog light (that is, turned on in foggy/low visibility conditions, etc.). However, I would be cautious about using the rear fog light as an additional brake light or other use that may attract attention you don’t want.

I've got the J-spec light and am waiting on a switch from Japan (to mount in the center counsel in the empty space between the two heated seat switches) so that I can turn the light on/off manually as desired...hopefully that will work out as intended. :)

Precisely why they don't supply these types of things in the U.S. We're lucky we even get brights the way these people around here are.

sounds cool enough but I would rather have a rear camera mounted behind it (with smoked plastic not black obviously)

Not trying to knock you or anything like that. This light is pretty bright. It would most likely be a distraction to drivers under normal driving conditions with clear weather. It isn't really made to be an always on thing for that reason. :tup:

Who says it has to be on always though then, yes I did in my post which the way I want it. You know how bad drivers are already do you really think a bright light will be a distraction? No, if anything it will give better warning to other drivers of where you are always.

Any update on this yet? I am interested in doing SOMETHING with that blank patch in the back .. perhaps rear camera / brake light / blinking back-up light ??

frost 05-09-2009 09:12 PM

I'd be in depending on price. I get worried while backing up, so the more visible the better.
