Re: rear fog lamps

["Mike Green" <mikegreen@gulf.net>]

Hmm... On my Volvo wagon - The fog lites are the uppermost lights on the
light assembly. The brake/night lights are below - the blinker and reverse
lights are in between.. I have followed my car in heavy rain once and the
car was MUCH more visible than other cars and you could definetley tell when
the brakes came on..
