Sorry of no help, but this reminds me of my wife's 1980 SAAB 900 Turbo which had a single red foglight on the drivers side rear with a separate switch on the dash. Was only able to turn it on when the front foglights were already on. She used it many times driving from NJ to Pa thru the Poconos.

 

I think you have to find somebody that has an Import License that will illegally sell European parts on the US market. That is how I got Euro headlights for my 1979 Saab 900 GLi. Put 100W bulbs in them and did some serious rewiring, they were BRIGHT.

 

Why would it be illegal?

 

There have been people on here getting stuff like that from Japan. I’ve never been able to figure out how to search in their store though.

Some on here in the past have used from Amazon but have not seen any threads for the 24+.

 

Poked the site for a bit... hard to tell if things that don't show up are search issues, or parts they actually don't carry.

 

Rear fog lights are a nice feature — I miss them here in the U.S. 😄
Cars in the EU usually come with just one, but I’d always order a second one from a RHD model.

 

That was my idea, yeah... ordering individual units to get the light on both sides.


One of the few things I liked about the rental Audi I drove in January, was that it had "all weather lights" in the back... a pair of bright red LED lights at the inner corners of the main TBT assemblies, that came on with the front fog lights (which were also labelled "all weather lights" on the controls).

Do you know the part# s by chance?

 

Ebay non oem

 

Thanks. I've talked to a couple of the sellers of that part, and those are on my list of alternatives.

I am told that particular aftermarket part has two modes, DRL/taillight low brightness, and fog-light high brightness. So they're interesting.

I don't know if they'd pass muster as "rear fog lights" in countries that require them. 🤷‍♂️

Some of the other aftermarket lights are reportedly too big for that installation spot, per reviews. And many of them give up the reflector aspect entirely, so I'm not sure they'd be technically legal in the US, where there is a regulation requiring some sort of low-ish mounted reflectors on the back of vehicles.

 

You know what's crazy?

If I try searching online now, this thread is one of the first things that comes up.

 

From what I’ve read online, any rear lights are legal as long as they are red in color. Where I live, some vehicles even have red strobe lights, and no one seems to be bothering them.

Unfortunately that is the gen 2 part, and I have a gen 3 (2024).

There are actually a lot of premade aftermarket, and DIY, options to add lights to the gen 2 rear reflectors.
