I dont know why they cant program the BCU to turn the lights on if the wipers are on for more than 30-60 seconds and then turn back off once you turn the ignition off.

I also do not understand why US carmakers do not instal rear fog lights on ALL vehicles. They have to save lives.

Unfortunately, the only way people will ever learn to turn their lights on is for law enforcements to start enforcing the laws. I don't know how many times I've followed cops right passed car with no lights after dark. And around here the only lights the cops like to use are the flashing ones.

I completely agree rear fogs save lives. I have grown up around European vehicles that have always had them and definitely can see the benefit.

Many people think the rear fogs distract the drivers behind you. The owners manual in my Volvo actually said not to use them in heavy traffic because they will "dazzle " the other drivers. I thought it was just me...
