    For those of you thinking of removing rear fog light

    just take off the back cover in the trunk, unconnect the cover from the wires and then cut the green wire, then of course insulate it put cover back on and voila all done, no cluster light will come on and no ugly one sided rear fog light comes on
    thanks to all of you for making me do this mod ;p

    you couldn't turn on your front fogs without turning on the rear one before?

    Cause both on the '97 210 and the 208, pulling the light switch to the first stop turns on the front fogs and pulling full out to the second stop turns on the rear fog.

    ya you right
    because on c36
    when you pull one, turns on the foglights inside the headlight assembly the 2 closest to the grille
    when you pull twice, turns on the lower foglights in the bumper cover and also the one rear so when you wanna use the front lower once always sucks how it looks from the back

    Dude don't cut it..

    like I set before grab the black connector with pins in it...

    trace the rear foglight one in this case you found it to be green

    use a small "flat" screw driver then pry-out the tab a little bit so you can slide out the pin for the rear foglight..

    then tape-off that connector with electrical tape.

    this way, when you sell you car, just slide that connector right in


    either way, cut or take the pin out will works..

    I have done this since day 1 I own mine..

    An excellent modding philosophy when it comes to electrical stuffs. I always try my best not to cut any wires or use any splicing whatsoever. Might take more time....but it's sooo much less ghetto.

    ghetto fabulous is my middle name

    i actually cut it way back still under the regular black insulation thingy, so it's hidden and if i ever want it back i can easily hook it up again np

    now who in the heck is going to check a cut wire waaaaay in the back there under so many covers ;p

    but it's true it's ghetto hehehe

    I heard you can piggy-back a wire to the other side on the same bulb in the passenger cluster & just make both sides illuminate so you will have both sides as a rear fog! To me that would be the way to go so I will be able to make people think I am using my brake when they are tailgating me!HAHA
