DRLs/Rear fog ligjts

[JGriffJ@aol.com]

Here's another thought:

Why didn't they just tie these DRLs into a photelectric eye that turns them
on when light conditions demand it? They have put these on cars (ie
Cadillacs, Lincolns, etc..) for years, and they work well. In fact, they
still put them on these cars. Why isn't this mandatory? It makes a lot of
sense (maybe that's why - it makes too much sense?)
And I can't believe that it is because the little photelectric sensor is that
expensive....

(Hmmmm. Maybe I could market something like this to all those with DRLs....)

Also, as far as the rear fog lights go. I agree that most Americans don't
know what they are for...(I didn't for the longest time... until I read about
them... and when I bought my Audi). And like most things here with U.S.
drivers... you get the ignorant ones and the rude ones... abusing the stuff
etc... I agree with the post re: more/better education for U.S. drivers...
passive safety is good... but a more educated driver who can DRIVE the car is
better.

Question re: the rear fog lights: My '92 100S has only one on the left, as
its supposed to. But I would like to have two of them (I prefer symmetry...
and of course, if there is to be only one, why didn't they put it in the
center?). I have not yet looked inside the taillight cluster... and I'm sure
if I did I might find the answer.. but since we are on the subject...

Does anyone know if I can just wire in a bulb (in series?) to the other slot
in the same position on the right in the tailight cluster? If I do this, will
I start a chain reaction and begin an electrical tidal wave of destruction?
Do I need to put in an in-line fuse somewhere.. or a relay or something? Has
anyone tried this? 

I would appreciate any help. All you electrical gurus out there must have an
answer :-)

TIA

Jim
