Have you ever used the rear fog light?

Driver's side rear light will illuminate like a brake light if you pull out on the light switch. This should only be used if the fog is thick enough that you can't see from one highway delineater to the next.
But in the USA, almost no one seems to know this, so it seems to be debatable whether using this is a good idea or not.

When I lived in Italy I used mine all the time as it's very foggy there. Many a night I could only see that fog light and not past the end of my hood. There would be a line of cars on the Autostrada and you start to wonder what was the guy in the lead seeing since I couldn't any thing. You would think that if the lead driver drove off the road so would the line of cars. Crazy I know but this was the norm outside of Venice.

On a previous '12 Range Rover Sport fog lamps illuminated on both sides as a separate bulb from the break lights. Used for fog many times. But would also flash them at tailgating cars. Generally effective.

Years ago, on the Tail Of The Dragon run early in the AM with a bunch of other Porsche with some morning fog.

I use mine all the time when i'm driving through the clouds. I consider it just as important as any of the other lights when it's fog time. I appreciate when other people use them too. Sometimes the fog is thick enough that it's the only light you see as you approach a car in the clouds.
Sounds like you north coast boys had a great summer, really wish I could have joined you on so many of the drives- crazy how life grabs you by the horns sometimes!
I got a new AOS in$$talled last week, and sadly that's about the peak of my summertime Porsche activity! Lol
