Hey guys,
Not sure if you guys have found this already. There's this one light at the bottom right of the rear bumper which lights up when you hit the button to the right of the light switch dial thing. This is what it looks like when lit: This is when it's not lit: The button to the right of the headlight switch dial is the button that controls it It will only light up if the ignition is set to position 3 (with or without the engine on) and the main headlights are on. When it is on, the same Icon as on the button lights up on the dash on the speedo side in orange. Does everyone get this? What's it for? My Fiesta is a WT LX built in Thailand in October 2010 |

It is for thick fog or snow, so will only operate with main beams on. Most European cars have this.

Hmmm, i can't really see how useful it could be in Sydney other than to flash tailgaters.
I assume the rules governing the use of rear fog lights are the same as the front? Will there be any problems if i just pull the switch for the rear fog and rewire it to the front so the rear never comes on? |

Or wire it so the front and rear come on at the same time.
