I've just noticed that only the right fog light turns on. What is the left light for? So frustrating lol
 
@bluesubaru Front or rear? If the rear then I imagine like many other cars the left is a reverse light.

Ah...visually its hard to tell as the plastic is red. But makes sense. Just annoying as other vehicles have dual rear fog lights. Nothing major. Just thought I'd ask.

Single rear fog lights were very common on vehicles when I was in Europe
 
We have single rear fog lights so the following cars know its not brake lights (car braking or stopped)
 
Well that makes perfect sense.
 
I find them really annoying when following or approaching someone at night with their fog lights on in fine weather! :rolleyes: Illegal here of course to use them except for inclement weather.

Pity most people with fog lights don't know that. Also a pity that nothing ever happens to those that insist on having them on all the time.
 
I have also one in the rear right.

I only turn it on when it's properly foggy and during torrential rain. I immediately turn it off once it clears.

I noticed some more mature people here use the rear fog light to shoo away tailgaters during heavy rain.

My friend noticed it when he was following me and we thought something was wrong. His Hyundai has dual rear fog lights as did my kia cerato. I hear ya...its one of those weird design aesthetics that is frustrating, kind of like how theres no spot inside the forester for a large phone. My Samsung noteb10 plus cant fit in the front dash tray but there was more than ample room in my kia cerato. Haha

Kind of like the Gen1 Liberty. The AUDM wagons have one reverse light - only on the left. JDM has two. Go figure.

I don’t know if those models have a rear fog light.

I don't think my OB has rear fog lights - it does have reversing lights that come on when I select reverse gear.

That’s good. You need them!

My 1993 Impreza did not have front fog lights. Only the d/s rear fog light came on with the switch.
