    If you are talking about the rotary dial for the headlights, the red light indicates the rear fog light is activated. The dial must be in the parking lights or full headlight position. Pull once for front fog lights to turn on but no rear fog light (no red light on the dial), pull out to the second click and then the rear fog light (there is only one!) also turns on plus then the red light on the dial illuminates.

    the rear fog light is great if people are tailgating you.. just click it on for a second and the person behind you thinks you stepped on the brake since they see a big bright red light.. and you dont even have to take your foot off the gas...

    Yeah, it doesn't seem very bright at all when you are standing right at the back of the car looking down at it but when you are farther back and at the same eyel-evel as when sitting in a car the light stands out more.
