Finding the rear fog light on our Aero useful not only in fog, but to get the turkey behind you to dimmit, i wired my RSX-S so the left-inside brake light filament also works as a rear fog light. I used a 25 amp bridge rectifier from Radio Shack to eliminate coupling; connect the + terminal to the target filament, one AC terminal to the existing brake light circuit, and the other AC terminal to a new rear fog light circuit. Brightness loss is not discernible. A separate switch, connected to the ignition or tail light circuit as you prefer, is highly recommended, and there is a hole for one under the front fog light switch. You can find a switch and the relay mentioned by Lu, in a junk yard. Good luck.

94 Aero 89K,
02 Acura RSX Type-S 23K (used only for commuting and occasional autocross. Wife prefers either Saab)
