I think rear fogs are legal on both sides - I have
them on my US spec. 88 Jaguar.  However they're down
low in the bumper, separate from the main taillights
so less likely to be confused with brake lights.  I
think manufacturers usually only put one rear fog in
when they are integrated into the main taillight
assemblies.  In England (where fog is not unknown)
it's a real pain when the rear fog is in with the main
taillights because you don't notice the brake lights -
they ought to have the centre brake light like the US.
