About LinkBacksWhy in the heck don't i have a rear fog light? Porsche did the same thing to me YEARS ago. I guess I will put a rear fog light on just like we put SIDE MARKERS and foglights on our Porsches. Do German Minds work alike? Boy I guess.

Re: We have fog too!
Surely the Uk R8's have a rear fog light as I thought it was part of the law over here.

Re: We have fog too!
yeah, uk cars have one under the rear bumper - I've attached a pic where I've altered the levels to make it more visible.

US specification cars do not have the rear foglight. You might also observe that they do not have the amber colored rear indicators that European spec cars have ...the US ones only flash red.

Does anyone actually know the real reason?

Re: We have fog too!
Hey U.K. guys, the fog light looks good to me...But where is the switch located? And I think the fog light is for better protection during a foggy DAY whilst driving with lights off?
