Heres a simple question and fairly inexpensive
I keep seeing the rear of the MCS and some have the red fog lights and some don't. The more I look the more I think the lights even the rear out. The ones without appear to have a little cutout that hasn't been "punched" out yet?. This isn't a big deal for me but for $100.00 bucks, is it worth it. Any comments would be appreciated. Has anyone not got them and now wished they had. I no, I am getting very wishy washy but can't help myself.
Thanks as always.

An infinite amount of time, unfortunately. I had high hopes for the rear fog light in serving this purpose, but it really doesn't work. If someone is really on your ***, like one of those big trucks that like to ride your bumper on the highway, they won't see the fog light below the front edge of their vehicle. In those instances, I prefer opening the sunroof and flipping the bird.

If you live or drive in a fog/heavy rain prone area, they are very worth it. But, if you install them yourself, you will have to have the dealer program them to work. As a tailgater deterent they are pretty much useless. They aren't exactly xenon strobes. They are about the brightness of brake lights. They can be seen a considerable distance before your tail lights can, but they certainly aren't going to be bothersome to a tailgater, other than, perhaps, as a warning you are getting pissed off (if you flash them on and off).

I like 'em, though. I commute through and are that gets some pretty dense fog in the early morning hours. Quite a few people seem outdrive their vision/brakes in the stuff. A little bit more peace of mind on those mornings.

I didn't spec them, and wish I had. For a mere $100 I could've had a full bank of toggle switches and no punch-out sections in the rear.
I seem to recall my significant other scoffing at my idea of spending additional money for a toggle, and then on our second outing in Henry wondering why I hadn't sprung for it.
Serves me right for listening to an outsider.
