A while back there was a thread about the red rings around the reverse lights. Upon further inspection and a month of thinking I have concured I can make them into rear fog lights with a bit of work. There is no seperator between the white and the red lense, making everything come on when you put your Cobalt in reverse.

This presents the biggest problem. I will, or someone will, have to create a seperator that can be reproduced. Homemade job will work at first. Next, some LEDs or white bulbs around the red rings in both lights, wire that, switched somewhere, to the battery/dash.

What do you guys think? Anyone else down for the project?

 

i was wondering what I could do too. Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out! I will be taking a hard look at it over the holiday and i'll get back at ya

 

Do you drive backwards in fog often??????????

 

Naw, it's just a courtesy to those driving behind ya that don't have fog lights

Not a bad idea to have those, though, in case some idiot is riding your ass at night. Flip them on and blind them, then maybe they'll back off...

 

LOL I was thinking the same thing. Having fog lights on the back would be pretty useless

I think a better term would be "running lights", and from what you've described, I think they would look pretty hot

Let us know what you come up with, I'd like to see some pics of the finished product.

 

they would be illegal, just so you know

 

I'm going to take a closer look tomorrow. My Alfa has rear fog lights as does my neighbors Audi and my friends 3-series bimmer. Basically they are just really bright rear light(s).

 

Most of you are thinking of an actual fog light.. rear fog lights are actually red and glow very ****** bright.. i used to have them on my volvo.. so they will be very legal indeed

 

I think that would be cool .a way to mod the outer rings ,but fogs ? additional brakelamps would be nice.

 

05RedSS on here put LED's in there

 

Wait some one actualy put LED's, damn i asked about doing that 2 days after i got my SS, glad to see some1 actualy did it.

now if i could only find who it is so that i can do it!

 

I think it will be a cool thing to see, although I think you would need to relocate or account for the rear reflectors...as I believe you would be replacing those...but I think it would look badass as just the running lights...
