'Don't know if they're required but they are definitely allowed and even encouraged. Where I lived in Germany it got insanely foggy and everyone had them, either OEM or aftermarket. The aftermarket ones are halogen with very deep red lenses, mostly made by Hella, and they are EXTREMELY bright. And, it is illegal for them to be illuminated except in heavy fog. They are so bright as to be effective in the fog, even during daytime hours.

anyone got a picture of it with the clear lens instead of red?

Well... these ones are smoked, not exactly clear - but you get the idea.

It is hooked up to the license plate light.
I'm sure some adventurous types could wire it to the fog light switch and use a brighter bulb - but as an ornament, this works quite well and it looks great. I love it!
One additional advantage compared to the OEM rotary lamp is that this can be used together with the rotary accent (or without, if desired).

Now for the pics... the first few show the light assembly and the parts that come with the kit (minus some wire taps). It is a totally professional fabrication - look at how the lamp appears as an OEM item.

Where did you get the rear fog lamp?
