Default I thought about doing that, but never bothered
The rear fogs are the same brightness as the brake lights, they are however brighter then regular taillights.

Default I thought the "rear fog light" was just on the driver side. We have an unused circuit/bulb...
on the passenger side?

Default So, uh, why did Audi put that in if it wasn't used? Seems odd to me
and it's obviously not because of mass production, because that write-up even says the circuits are different on the passenger side. Unless they have another car that this goes into.
