Good DIY, thanks.

Actually, I wish police here in the states would hand out tickets for incorrect rear fog light usage.

Audi drivers seem to be the worst offenders of driving in clear weather with their rear fog lights on. It looks like current Audi models have two lights (no longer just one side). I didn't think any US-spec cars came with rear fogs, but I always seem Audi and MB cars with rear fogs on -- and I'm assuming these are not folks who modded their car to enable them.

Personally I can't imagine using them more than once or twice a year when weather warrants. I know folks around here like them for tailgaters...
