Those are your day time running lights. As others have stated the chance of you having factory rear fogs is zero to none.

As stated I was just ribbing you. Outside the American market there is a requirement for vehicles to have a REAR fog light. 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.

As stated, those are DRLs. You can't control them and they don't work as fog lights. The switch for the rear fog light, if you had one, would be on the turn signal stalk. When the rear fog light is installed aftermarket, most people install and wire them to a switch in between the two seat heater switches. That's normally for the convertible top. (You don't have one of those either, no matter what the dealer told you).

Just buy a JDM one as people have suggested and hook it up as another brake light. That's what I did, it's safer and looks cooler!
