Rear foglights are not activated for US models for the simple reason, I think, that they are not required by state law governing lighting equipment. There may also be some places in the U.S. where they are not permitted (because they are too bright, I suppose); and there's always the problem of their being over-used by drivers who are not too bright. I find them a comfort in low-visibility conditions on the Interstate. You sacrifice the two-stage brake lighting, though, when you have them on.
