        I'm interested in buying a switch but first I'd like to know how to install a rear fog. Is the wiring in the car already? I know there's a tab to prevent installation of a light bulb where a fog light would go in the rear left light cluster.
        Any suggestions?

          I odn't have a picture on hand but picture your current fog switch, but with 2 buttons. Euro cars have front and rear fogs, that's why they have this. Don't worry it works just fine in US cars, I have one in mine

                Doing 130+ mph on the autobahn gets a little tricky in low visibility. Its not a "fog" as you'd think.... just a light that looks like a brake light thats always depressed. It works wonders over here.

                    Euro tails also have a transparent lense for the light to project into the trunk.. quite nifty.

                          1) Its not a direct plug & play setup. You'll have to add a wire/connection to the tail light to make it work
                          2) There is a small cut-out section in the euro tail light backing plate... that is what lets extra light into the trunk when the lights are on.

                          HTH,

                              Only some of the euro tails have the transparent bit, I've had two, one had it the other didn't.
