Default New LED rear-fog option for Euro cars.

Currently exported C6 corvettes require amber turn signals and rear-facing fog lights to comply with euro standards.

After a successful test and first customer approval, Radioflyer Innovations is happy to announce that we will soon be offering a new rear-facing fog option. The reverse lights are replaced with a bi-color white/red LED bulb that functions as both a fog light and reverse light with a simple wiring tap and replacement socket for the reverse light housing.

It perfectly complements our eagle eye LED tail lights with the Euro "Centerpoint" (Amber turn signal) modification.

Here are some preliminary test photos from our customer in Germany:

Appreciate you have other things on your mind at this time, so at some time let me know if the above euro fog light option is available yet.

Thanks

TO my understanding, the rear-facing fog lights are linked to the front fog lights on the euro models.

I have been eyeing these for sometime, would they work on a USDM spec 08 Zo6? If so what is required to get them working??

On the rear harness connector (on the frame rail under the passenger tail lights) there should be an orange wire on the upstream side of the connector. This is the rear-fog 12v+ power wire.

You may need to also install a fuse and relay for the rear fog lights in the factory locations in the passenger foot well fuse box. On US spec cars, I believe this circuit is linked to the fog lights (need supporting documentation) but may also require BCM re-programming.

Note 2005 cars will require running a wire from the OEM front fog light fuse to power the rear fog lights.

Rear fogs have their own switch, but they can only be activated when the front fogs are on.

Hi

I know its an old post but trying to get more information how to wire the rear fog lights into the BCM. Anyone has done this with this harness and could give
more detailed instructions?

Thanks a lot.

My understanding is that installing the C6 euro harness, the rear fogs get power from the "H" pin on the rear harness terminal. The BCM would need to be re-programmed, and the mult-ifunction switch would need to replaced with an e-code one for rear-fogs.

Alternatively, you could just run the rear fogs off the front fog circuit by jumping the fuses.
