[s-cars] Just added 2nd rear fog light

[Dave Forgie]

Sorry but I have to chime in on this one.  About 5 years ago, I
converted both rear fog lights on my 93 S4 to two filament lampholders
(using Audi and Nissan parts) running 5 W/21W bulbs.  The 5 W filaments
are on all the time (I am in Canada and the DRL also turn the rear
running lights on).  The 21 W filaments are currently used for extra
signal lights (I didn't want to go to the Euro signal lights because you
lose 5 W of running lights per side.)  So normally I have this
configuration:

5W 5W  5W       Licence Plate     5W  5W 5W    (this is 5 W/side more
than normal)

When signalling left (for example)  I have

21W 5W  21 W    Licence Plate   5W  5W 5W     (this is 21W/side more
than normal)

With the Euros you normally get:

0W 5W    0W       Licence Plate   0W   5W  0W   (5/w per side LESS than
normal)

This would be asking for trouble in dark, rainy, Vancouver BC winters.

My original intent was to a) add more light to light up the rear for
dark rainy winters and b) figure out a way with relays or diodes or
something so the extra 21 W filaments could be driven preferentially by
the fog light, brake light or signal light, in that order.  But I didn't
get ANY support (help) and I dropped the priority thing. .  However, I
have been running the extra lights for about 5 years now and am happy.
