Subject:Re: Arrangement of US Taillights

My setup is like this:

------------------------      ---------------------------
| Turn | backup | Brake|     | Brake | backup | Turn  |
|-----------------|     -   |     |    -      |-----------------|
| Tail | Tail/Cat| light |      | light   | Tail/Cat | Tail |
------------------------      --------------------------

This gives me more taillight area, more brake light area and no fog light. I
don't need the fog light, I have experienced.

The regular Euro setup is like this, in case any of you should wonder.

----------------------------      ---------------------------
|   Turn   |   Back   |  Fog  |     |  Not   |   Back    |  Turn  |
|--------------------|    -     |     | Occu |-------------------|
| Brake | Tail/Cat  | Light |     |  pied  | Tail/Cat| Brake |
----------------------------      ----------------------------

This is on a LHD car, RHD has the fog light / empty section mirrored.
