Rear fog lights on all vehicles (some vehicles have them now).
it's forbidden to use rear fog lights under rain (it's more confusing than helpful)
if you live somewhere dry, that's not a concern. But here it rains 1 day in 3
I don't know where you are but rear fogs aren't illegal in the rain here and from experience they are nothing but helpful in heavy rain and white out snow. I am always so so sooo glad when someone in front of me is using them when it's absolutely pouring. You really have to not be paying attention not to notice that it's two lights and not three and somehow mistake them for stop lights.
In fact, Transport Canada recommends using them in fog, rain, or snow.

Yes that as well, I love mine and use them a lot. But that's a step above rear running lights. There's no god damn reasons the rear indicators shouldn't be on all the time.
