Good luck with that. I and many others have just wired the lamp directly to the rear lamps. There are threads on this topic if you search.

how does the rear fog lamp work? can it blinking?

no. the wiring that comes with the lamp enable you to have a switch to turn it on/off. So much trouble for so little gain. If you just wire the lamp to the rear tails, when you turn the tails on the fog lamp comes on. Simple, and much much easier.

it almost impossible to wire it up by following that instruction manual. In order for the switch to work, it also need a few more module, which the US cars don't have. I just wired it up to my brake lights.

I was looking at getting this, how does it install to the bumper? Does that area just pop out then you pop in the new section with the light? Or do you have to remove the whole rear bumper? Any installed pics?

I bought the full rear-fog light kit for my car. This included the light, wiring harness and dash switch. I had to re-wire the end connector on the harness (and my steering column) to convert from RHD to LHD.

Note, if you follow that, you also need to do the front fog-light switch mod, otherwise the control module (part of the new wiring harness) gets confused by the US control signals.

Search the forum for more info on my fog light install...

Just wondering how much you guys are paying shipped for the rear fog light? Everytime I seem to check it, it goes up. I guess it has to do with the foregin exchange rate. Right now its $380 shipped to my door. I was hoping for a discount code or something....right now they just have double "points".

I want one of those rear fog lights too. But I'm gonna wait until they are not "bend you over" priced. You know, I can't help but think somebody else has got to be selling those.
