I searched and I couldn't find it.
Does anyone have the link the website that sells the rear turn signal lamp that has the red instead of white on one side of the reverse light?

I already have red rear turn signals

Does anyone know what the purpose of having this is?

Many countries require a bright red rear lamp to increase your visibility in fog. Germany I know has required this for many years. And it looks like England does also. As bright as a brake light, but only one lit when switched on. Think about the last time you drove in heavy fog.....the car in front of you might not be seen till you have already climbed up his bumper!
This will help prevent that from happening.

besides, I live at Oregon. The weather at here are foggy everyday. Sooner or later the fog will become heavy. Therefore I need this thing. And also I feel it's cool, because no any Z in US had this thing. I'm the first one..hehe.....

yea,..The single red on R34's rear bumper is rear fog lamp. Same as Europ version Z. I just got one which send by my friend in Japan. Before I decide this rear fog, I was thinking to use Bat's Overlays, but it will turn out just for look, and useless. So I decide to buy a whole system, which include fog lamp+wire+switch. and step by step instruction. Total cost me $280(including shipping). Here is some pic of my fog lamp.

i just thought about this...people in the US will think that one of your lights is out, which may lead to some sort of police pullover.
us Z people will think its very very cool though

definitly a europe thing. its funny though cause I made a single red7440 led bulb for one of the england members here so he could use a USDM light but remain legal by illuminating red.
I like it all clear too. interesting how everyone wants what the other side of the pond has.

I just done! I'm so glad I did it! The hardest part for me is take off the rear bumper. In order to take it off, I need to take off Splash Guard first. To take off Splash Guard, I have to raise the car. The rear bumper is really tricky....
The instruction tells how to link the switch to the blank squares which beside the VDC button. But I didn't want my switch goes to that place. So I decide to put it at the center instrument panel area (heat seat button). To take off the center instrument panel need to take off the center console. So I remove passenger side heat seat button to the right side. Than put fog lamp switch between 2 heat seat button.
The wireing is pretty easy. the switch needs a ground and power. So just find those 2 source than everything is easy.

Nice install...not exaclty sure what the point is still but...nice install all the same.
You'll definitly get a lot of questions about it now though.
P.S.- You really need to clean the inside of your car.
lol.Is that a straw in front of the passenge seat? Don't even try to blame that on the install. Please...for the cars sake.
