Here are a few pics of the Tungsten Halogen headlights and rear fog lights of my Surf:

Rear Fog lights

 

i feel so enlightened now.
sure, pun intended.

nice lights man. someday i gotta get me them silverstar lights.

 

Those are the factory stock lights.

I was thinking of going HID but I think these are pretty good, especially for OEM.

 

Woody,
I like the rear fog running lamps. I'm not sure but I think in this country you're only allowed to run one of these lamps and it has to be on the left side. Also, it is against the law to have them on except in foggy or low visibility weather conditions.

Jaguar, as well as other British cars used these many years ago... I think Jaguar still imports some models with them. Hella makes them as add-ons and I still think they are a good idea.

I love the garage (?) doors you were shining the headlights on.

 

Just for reference, my dad's Audi has one foglight on the rear end, and it is in fact on the left side.

 

So, I am not totally nuts. Thanks CTB

 

No, not totally....but maybe just a little!

 

So your fogs remain on with the high beams, something I'd like to mod on my truck. Also interesting to see the low beams flare up and left for driving on the wrong side of the road! Is your truck RHD, too? Thanks for the photos, looks like a Close Encounter!

 

A friend had a MB 500SL a few years (like 10) that had two rear fog lights.

Personally I think they are an outstanding idea.

Quit posting pic's or your Surf, your making me jelous. BTW, I like to doors also.

 

No your not nuts. My mom's Volvo has the rear fog light as well on the left side only. My buddies A4 has it too!

What I was going to do on another vehicle is to get one red halogen lamp for the left side and one clear for the right and moount them under the hitch and on two separate switches. This way I would have a brighter backup lamp too, or maybe aim it up a tad so that when someone is drafting in my wake, I can WAKE them up by flipping it in their face. I may try this mod sometime but I have other projects to play with first.

 

The doors I used for the background is the entrance to a temple a few doors down from my house.

Yea, it's RHD.

 

That is great Woody. You can bring it to the states and get a job working for the USPS doing rural deliveries.

Peter,

That actually sounds pretty good

 

JGage,

Here's on for ya

 

Very handsome and I love that deep blue color.

 

I've already seen that one and Hey ! I live in FL we have a beach too.

I still like that color, I think it's actually available here, but I have not seen one.

If you get a chance, will you post a pic of the rear (badges) ? You may have already, but I dunno where it is.

ie: those rear fog lights. On the American model, that would be a good place to mount some rear lights if you could find someone to fit them in there.

 

JGage,

Let me know if you can see them in this one. At full size it's OK.

 

JGage,

Sorry, I didn't have a lot of time when I posted that other pic. Here is a better one of the rear badges:



And here is the leather interior:





I also really like the color Peter. I'm sending you a PM now as well.
