Rear fog

Rear fog
I have rear fog lights on my 23 D90S, is this standard? I activate them by turning the selector for front fogs the opposite way. I then get 2 smaller and lower brighter than tail lights that are part of the lower rear reflectors. I use them every time I drive. Looks really cool too.

[QUOTE=WTFChuck;820308]Yeah, just what I think every time I see one of those hillbilly pickup trucks with the LED light bar mounted on the front bumper, blazing beams of light blinding all traffic in its path. I certainly don’t think the rear fog lights on the Defender approach the annoyance factor that these ever increasing LED light bars do. Where is the uproar, or should I say, law enforcement response to that?[/QUOTE
I followed my defender with them on. They aren’t annoying at all.

Most definitely, they are low mounted, to illuminate that small gap between the fog and ground, and project the light to reflect off the pavement to be seen by other traffic. And they are not at a brightness that gives night blindness to those following. And with all the distracted drivers on the road, that additional light may prevent you from getting rear-ended.

Driving behind someone with rear fogs on, particularly in the wet is incredibly glaring.
With a "do unto others etc". mantra, I try to be courteous in my driving and try not to dazzle my fellow road users with my lights. In the same vein, I also use dipped headlights when I meet traffic. I like the auto feature on the Defender.
I guess fog lights are not the norm on US vehicles. In Ireland and UK, rear ones are pretty much a standard. Two or one. In non-foggy conditions all they do is hinder following drivers and obscure your own brake lights. I guess I'm a hater, or someone who disagrees with you. whichever fits your chosen narrative best.
