Hey thanks!

Something I thought about doing - why not have the best of both worlds? It wouldn't be too hard to have both, once you've gotten the wiring done for the rear fogs. All you would need to run, in addition to the brake light jumper wire to the rear fog light, is a diode.

The idea: When you hit the brakes, both the brake lights and the rear fog lights will come on. In the event you ever 'need' or want to have your rear fog lights on, the diode will prevent current from the rear fog light circuit from turning on your brake lights too.

I actually bought some diodes, in case I decide to do this. It wouldn't take much time at all, since you'd only have to tear into the tail light bulb holders...
