Default 05-07 Mustang owners in Europe, rear fog light

In Europe you need to have rear fog light, I'm looking for best solution for it.
How have you solved that in your Mustang ?
Have you installed a separate fog light or what ?
Please add pics also.

I have not install these, but just to make things clear...I think you are talking about havingbrighter red lights on the rear vs a clear fog lights like the GT's have in the front? Am I correct?

Having grown up in France i do remember that you need so sort of actual foglight in the back. All the Peugeots, Renaults and Citroens had it. It's gonna be a bitch to install because there isn't really any room for it in the back of the stang. I'm just wondering and not to highjack the thread, but i may have to go back to France in a few years and was wondering, did you import the stang yourself or did you buy it at some sort of American import dealership?

Fog lights in Europe look like this and they are different to the brake light

Don't the peugeot's have a small red or white fog light in the middle of the bumper though? I clearly remember it bein a separate light on the 206s. This may have changed with newer models.

I bought my car here in US, but I may move back to Europe this year, let's see.
Andin Europe you need to have a separate brighter fog light (one is enough) as in jrm1900's picture.

Stangang: thanks for the link, those lights might work. The only thing is that I don't like the clear middle light, I would like to keep
the lights as close to original as possible, I just like the way they are.
And speaking of turn lights, I think that red turn light in rear should be ok, I've seen many US made cars have it like that in Europe.

Thanks for help, I keep looking for other options also.

Is this a new law for any car brought into Europe? I was stationed in Europe for 5 years in the military and people had their cars shipped over all the time from the States and they never had to install any rear fog lights.

That's different. We're covered under SOFA and we don't have to change our cars to meet their laws, although we do need to pass their safety inspections. However, if you move to Europe and register the car, but not covered under SOFA, your car has to meet that countries rules.
