I am looking to develop a rear fog light for the CX-5. I am aware that in Europe, most if not all cars sold are required to have a rear foglight. This of course includes the CX-5 (I hope). I am not sure where the rear the fog light for the CX-5 is located, but I will assume that it is where the two red reflectors are, which is mounted into the unpainted lower section of the bumper cover. See picture below if needed.
What I need to know is if you guys across the pond have actually have a dedicated rear fog light for your CX-5's. I have not been able to find part numbers for it, nor have I found pictures of the dedicated rear fog light switch. So it would be appreciated if you guys can inform me whether or not the rear fog light exists on your cars and if you can take a picture of the switch for the rear fog light.
My RX-8 did not come with a rear fog light, but I have made one myself. It is stealthy and looks completely invisible when off. When it is on, it is lit by my custom built unit with quite a few bright SMD (LED's), with proper load resistance, and a dedicated PCB. Of course it is weather proof as well. A nice aesthetic addition, on top of the fact that it adds safety on rainy/foggy drives. I have made a few for others on RX8Club, but as of now I am not concerned about selling any for CX-5 users. At this moment, I am simply interested in making a unit for myself. Admins take notice, as I am not a 'vendor'. Here is a not-so-good picture of the rear of my RX-8 with the fog light lit.

Others on RX8club with a very similar unit, but with about six less LED's.
