Switch for rear fog light

I am in Canada and am interested in the rear fog light accessory. For those of you in Japan that have this option, where is the switch to operate it? Is there a switch on the dash to operate it or is it on the rotary stalk that controls the turn signals?

Someone in another post noted that it is a rotary control on the turn signal stalk. The first position turns on the front fog lights and the second position turns on the rear fog lights. I have heard of another one that has a rectangular switch with a fog light icon on it. Which set up is the one directly from Mazda? Thanks in advance for your help.

I posted this over a month ago. Does no one have a rear fog light installed in their car?

Hi RX8 Forumers,

I am new here. Just took delivery of my 8 last week (details in signature panel), just over 600kms, looking forward to every drive and tasting 9000rpm after the breakin.

Broose,

I believe I am the only one fitted with the rear fog light in Singapore. I have a fetish for it - looks cool, useful in emergency and during our tropical monsoon rainstorm.

I ordered it factory fitted and it came with an on/off switch on the panel below the steering wheel, in the space above the DCS cutoff switch, flanked by the instrument panel rheostat and the headlight height adjuster.

I would prefer to see the switch on the stalk together with the front fog light switch. A slight disappointment is the lack of a indicator light on the instrument panel to indicate rear fog light on. Also disappointed no front fog lights on indicator either.

Other than that I am super happy with my 8, the sound, looks, detailing, quality all met my expectations

Fab8,

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try to take some pics - lazy, no skill. Perhaps at the next meetup ? or at the rotary engineer talk?
