Is there a standard or even traditional way to wire a rear fog light? I was thinking of options:
1. Completely independent circuit, manually on or off.
2. Completely independent switch, functions with low beams, as do front fogs.
3. Tag onto a front fog circuit, so functions when front fogs and low beams are on.
I'm leaning toward #2 with a distinct indicator so I don't forget it. I do tend to wire most of my auxiliary lights with double throw, center off switches, so I have "On-Off-Auto," with manual "On" being for aiming, testing, etc. while "Auto" is for normal use, driving lights with high beams, fog or auxiliary low beams with low.
I just realized I've no experience with the correct way to set up a rear fog. I realize it's important in thick fog, but should not be forgotten or left on when there is no fog. European forum members probably know the answer. But I'll appreciate any advice I receive.
