Japanese cars do not seem to come with a rear fog light, and mine didnt even have working front fog lights, so i needed to fix this. When the car was imported someone replaced one of the reversing lights with a red bulb and wired it to a switch.. this is really crappy.
I stole the UK switch from my UK car and put it in the dash, i then wired the switch into the after burner set up that i have. This means that when there is no fog, all 4 lights act as lights and brake lights, but if the fog light is pressed, the middle two act as fog lights and the outside two are the lights / brake lights. This is a really good set up. and i found out how to do it using diodes from a post on the MR2 Owners Club forum.
I now had to investigate the front fogs. I manged to find a switch hidden behind the dash, no iea what it did until i traced the wires from the fog lights back to it. (It was an aftermarket PIAA fog light set up) i plugged it back in, but it didnt work. I found out that the fuse had gone, so i replaced teh fuse and found that it was because a bulb had gone. replaced the bulb and it was all good.
Being the perfectionist i am, i also wired this into the existing fog light switch.. all that remains is for me to illuminated it by getting the feed from the light circuit. Easy job for a boring day.
