Also speaking of intergrated fog lights has anyone tried it before for us with NA's? Because I'm keen on trying to make a set and do something like a flush mounted but raised on the outsides of the lights to make them point onto the road.
One thing I would prefer is to make it adjustable. Are the NB foggies adjustable? And for that matter and fog lights ment to be movable?
Ps: I don't need a switch to turn ducks on...

NB foglights are adjustable. Mine came from the factor nicely iluminating the road 0.5m in front of the car. I adjusted them and now they work quite well in the fog. They're still useless when there's no fog though.

I wonder if it is possible to fit a rear fog light in the NB. I get a lot of idiots in 4x4's in my area who drive with foggies on all the time. Thinking of putting one in to remind them to turn theirs off.

The same switch is in the ford laser exact same size and shape.
how much do the fog lights weigh after deleting them what do you do with the empty hole?

As Garry rightly pointed out any OE fog lamp is going to be adjustable just the same as a headlamp is adjustable. Fog lamps just throw a shallow wide beam close to the front of your car. Many fog lamps have bulb shields and whilst some folks have other ideas it is very hard and near impossible to dazzle other drivers. They will light up the side of the road. I use my fogs regularly as it does help others to see such a low profile car in bad light or foggy weather.
The rear fogs may need some clarification- I took a rear fog lamp to mean in fact a red light with higher intensity designed to be seen by others not to see with. These are fitted to some imports and can be bloody annoying.
Hella has a range of front fogs but I am not sure if there is a stand alone add on red rear foggy - best check their on line cat.

I would actually recommend a 100w floodlight on the parcel sheft/windblocker.
rear fogs are fun though, my Mondeo has 2 rear fogs and they are bright as!
great for tailgaters and general idiots.

Holden must adjust their Commodore foglights differently in NSW than they do in other states then because SS Commodore foglights are always aimed to high and are very annoying, most times even brighter than the headlights.

For those interested in what a rear fog lamp looks like... Here's the one on my car.
