I've been thinking of adding a rear fog lamp but before I fork $400 over to the local installer to cut open my trunk lid and transplant a Peterson 850F, I thought of looking at the factory taillamps to see if fog lamps can be more easily retrofitted.
I found this empty compartment on my taillamps. From the outside, it appears that there's no bulb or LED inside the compartment. From the inside, there's an arrow and a raised plastic circle, which indicates to me that this compartment accepts a bulb. The only bulb I can think of it accepting is a fog lamp bulb. However, this compartment is pretty much right up against the brake lamps. It's definitely not 4" away from the edges of the brake lights, which makes me question whether it's for a fog lamp bulb. It's pretty much adjacent with the brake lamps.
What is it exactly?
Car is an IS350c.
