rear fog light (between the exhausts)

JARblue · 11-14-2014, 08:43 AM

I pulled the lens off the housing, spray painted it with a Z outline, and installed my own LED panel inside (link in my signature). In earlier model Z's the lens is smoke-colored, while more recent models have a red lens (this is for the fake housing only - actual fog light always has a red lens).

That looks really good.

JDM Fairlady Z Reverse Fog Light

You can also just order the parts from a Canadian dealer.... turn stalk switch and fog light are on every Canadian Z.

I just want a 2011 black one, don't really care for it being functional.

I'm in Canada and my Z is a 2014 sport package and has a rear fog light. Maybe it just comes on certain Canadian models. It is activated by a knob which is part of the headlights/turn signals arm.

Canada is in America and we have them.

Since the Z is a global platform they mass produce the bumper and those slotted to come to America get a dummy light cover whilst foriegn models will come equipped with a functional rear fog light.
