The position in the USA spec light cluster for the fog has a reflector lens
on the outside, and I don't think the concave bulb reflector on the inside
is mirrored. Put a bulb behind it and the result is scattered all over,

I think that is actually the point of these rear "fog lights". Unless you
are planning on driving quite a bit in reverse, in foggy weather, you really
do not want or need any sort of a "beam" back there.
If there were to be a reflector, and higher wattage than the 21 watt OEM
lamp, they my assumption is that it would be highly unsafe and incourteous
to those driving behind you.
I have both "converted" to the Europe specification, and they are just what
tha doctor ordered... a nice solid red "glow" for those ultra foggy
conditions, when folks just can't see the car in front of them.
Or am I missing something in your master plan??
