so i'll have my first nissan this saturday at the latest, an '03 touring 6spd silver with black leather and 24,000 miles on it ... i use to own a bmw and came to love the oem rear fog light retrofit in which i put on the car. however i know nissan is a japanese company though the 350z's that were released in europe came standard with such a device so would do you guys think it'd be a neat thing to put on? i live out in the country and during the morning the roads are usually covered in dense fog so with that said it would serve somewhat of a purpose. anyway, the kit can be found here, let me know what you guys think
regards,

I have the same feature on my volvo. no, this mod won't light up the area behind your car so you can drive backwards lol, but it will light up the driver side tailight brighter then the other side so people can see you easier and won't plow into you from behind when it's foggy.

lol wow ... guys, the light doesn't only come on when the car is in reverse ... it replaces the driver side reverse light with a light which is as bright as a fully lit brake light which comes on by the push of a switch just like any other type of fog lights on a car, it's on the left hand side since the car is left hand drive (at least in north america and some parts of europe), it's more of a mercedes and bmw thing so i guess i shouldn't do it but being that i had a '99 bmw 323i before havig a z which had retrofitted oem rear fog lights i thought it'd be a fun cheap mod :P

R34 Skyline Spec Nurs have them too.

They're not exclusive to Europe. In fact, I think the US and perhaps Canada are the only places that don't have them.
