Quick question on a DIY rear fog light thread!

[EG2LOW4U]

Bit of a new guy to clubcivic and i've been searching for a post involving a DIY of how to integrate the brake light on a 92-95 civic (hatch in my case) into the brighter rear fog light?

The idea seems pretty useful when i looked into it, here in Florida during the summer time it rains on average at least 3 times a week and when it rains, it pours. Driving on the highway to work it is hard enough for me myself to see cars that are in front of me when it's raining like the world is ending. And about a week ago I was just about rear ended while it was pouring down rain because I doubt this truck even saw my tail lights. People DO NOT pay attention and that rear fog light would really improve my visibility to other drivers IMO.

if any of you guys know a link or have seen a link involving this DIY will you post it for me. greatly appreciated !

I believe it is illegal to have a constant white light at the rear as it could blind oncoming commuters. Rear whites are for going in reverse only, so you could confuse on-comers. It would be more of a potential problem than a solution. If you feel dim taillights are an issue, simply upgrade to brighter red bulbs.

Its not a bright white light. The oem rear foglights are bright ass red and are used for the exact reason the op is talking about.

I like them both for safety and for looks.

I say do it!

I really want to.

I'm beginning to think it's the actual whole tail lights that you buy that have it integrated in them already. And you just wire the relay to a switch by your defrost button.

I assume ur referring to the one rear fog that goes on the driver side rear bumper? If so that's my fav style rear fog. Not a fan of the integrated tails.

5th gen didn't have them in the rear bumper. They are part of the tail light. The ones in the bumper are from 6th gens.
