Default It is a different wiring harness for CA vs US. but check out the tech section like

Stoney said. It took me all of 30 minutes to wire my fogs so I can use them like driving lights during the day. Also suggest you install the extra rear fog light so you can drive with them on too. That'll add another 30 minutes to your install. Good luck... BTW, the dealer would have to totally modify your wiring harness at great expense to make it like a CA car..

Default The rear fog is a bit more involved. Did you...

... do the rear mod? (for those interested: the 2002 and later cars come with both, so this just applies to 2001 and before, BTW.)

I see fog so rarely that I don't think it is much of an issue. And it looked more than trivial to do.

Plus, they are visible almost exclusively from directly behind, so they don't really work as daytime lights for general visibility. The corner lamps that come on with the fogs serve that purpose for me.

Default Yep, did the rear mod on my '01 2.7 You are correct about seeing

the rear lights only from direct behind but that is what I like. I use them on hwy driving and like the car behind to see me. The rear lights are actually very bright and can be annoying if the car behind is close. JMTC.
