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

Hi Dave,

Why not try these to increase output...

This will give you 8W for all 5W applications but there may be a little loss
due to volt drops in the wiring around the car (read - I bet your 5W aren't
that high due to aging). I'm using these for all my 1157 applications.
