Default Problem with rear fog light

Guys, I noticed that one of my rear fog lights was out but was puzzled as to why the "bulb out" message wasn't coming on. I took apart the rear tail light and noticed that the light bulb was completely missing from the rear fog light socket. I went out a bought all new bulbs (along with a nice set of stealth bulbs for my rear turn signals) and replaced every light bulb inside both rear tail lights. I tested the bulb out system and it seems to be working perfectly except for my right rear foglight. Even with a brand new bulb in there it still doesn't work and I'm not getting a "bulb out" error either. Any ideas?

Default Does anyone know if it's possible to have dueal rear fogs?

I'd love to have dual rear fogs because I think I could freak people out that are tailing me by pulling the light switch to activate them. They'd think I hit the brakes and they'd slam their brakes on, but I'd just keep on going because I hadn't actually hit my brakes, just turned the fogs on.

Default There is only one rear fog light for a reason, don't run dual rear fogs

and only use it when the weather calls for it.

I can't tell you how many times I've read similar posts here on AudiWorld over the years :-)

Default I'd like to do this as well. The B7s have dual rear fogs so it cant be that difficult.

You could probably just send a wire from the left rear bulb to the right side..

Default You may be running low on fluid. The other fog runs off the blinker so check the

blinker reservoir and fill up with fluid. I like motul.

Default You mean don't be the douchebag that has their rear fogs all the time?

One of my pet peeves.

I converted my Audi 90 to run both rear fog lights back in 1989. Just wired another socket up.

If there's only one fog light for a reason, why do some Audis come with 2?
