From the research I did, most of the west coast states have specific DMV rules as to when a rear-fog light is allowed to be illuminated. Many of them it's in the 500 feet or less visibility range.

Midwest states like where I am from tend to not have any specific laws about rear fog lights. They are legal, but there is nothing to indicate when it's allowed to be illuminated (or not.) Here in MN they have an "excessive lighting" statute. A few officer friends mentioned they could write a ticket to someone with a rear fog turned on based on that rule, however they were unlikely to unless the light was visually impacting someone following them.

Due to the brightness of the rear fog, I'd certainly consider it to be distracting if I was following an RX8 at night, that wasn't in either heavy rain or heavy fog.

(Note, turning that light on in fog or rain conditions really causes the drivers behind to back off.. So I'm certainly an advocate for having it.. but using it responsibly is the key!)

 

the oem fog is a 7440 bulb. I bought a 7440 LED so it wont burn so bright hopefully

How good is japanparts.com shipping. I was reading there shiping methods but it confusing. I've been wanting to order things from them just wasnt sure about the shipping. Any info would be appreciated.

Well, here it is. Its wired straight to the tailights, so its on when the tails are on. Swapped out stock bulb for a 9 LED bulb...poor quality cell phone pic

 

Where'd you get the LED Tail Lights? Or are those the stock 2009 tails? I've been looking for these forever.

Thanks in advance.

 

^ yeah, those are the 09 stock tails

 

holy cow, i needed one of these when i moved to europe and i grabbed one off Ebay in perfect condition for $50.... i saw $300 mentioned on the first page!!!

 

Was that for a series 1? Because the series II need a body colored panel which drives up the price.

 

yes S1. but i had looked and the S1 OEM's were about $350 too....

 

Yes..? What shall I do for you?

 

^^ thats how I'm gonna laugh when i beat your *** at some video games whenever you come up here

 

Thou shall not call the Holy Cow in vain!
Wat videogames? :p

 

It's funny, I usually have to check my brakes right when I can see the guy behind me pick his nose, or the woman texting (Tail gating & texting. really.)

I'd like to switch it up to just give tailgaters a second look.

 

I did mine around Christmas. I was going to make a writeup with pics. Hopefully soon. I used most of the wiring from the JDM kit but you have to mod some of it.

 

I am thinking of turning mine into a brakelight and replacing the



I have down there and with a standard license plate one cause the field of vision is too low
