Well its lame but last night found that if you turn your lights on then the button switch actualy pulls out and turns on a rear fog type light.

lol had the car for like 7 months and never knew about it.

LOL, i found that in about 7 seconds : .

If its like the Focus, you can pull it out one notch and that will turn your front foggies on, then 2 notches will turn your front foggies and the rear foglight on too. I wouldnt recommend using the rear foglight much though, theyre very hard on those behind you.

I wouldn't feel so bad there are thousands of bewildered souls in Hyudais, aimlessly trundling down our highways and byways, all of whom have no idea they are dazzling all comers with those infernal real fog lamps! :sm_drool:

Lol Like it matters, ya dont see the back of em much anyways cuz youre always in front ;)

Yeah I used my Rear foggie today cuz i had a dose of roadrage for some F*cknuckle who kept tailgating me on the ringroad. Morning Peak hour, so there were cars in front and around me and I couldn't go noweher (neither could anyone else for that matter) but he didnt care he just wanted to make sure it said "zetec" on my back tailgate. So I slammed on the brakes (a little to make him go hard on the brakes as well), shaking with anger and gave him the worst death stare that I could through the mirrors, Put on the rear fog and he shit em, and f*cked off pretty quick. I can't remember some of the names I called him. Jeez I was so ****ed off....

Default Do they do anything else....

Ok so when I brought the car I didnt get a run down on wot else it does besides drive....I have not looked the manual (only to find out how to stop the rear wiper)

Is there anything else I should know about this car...?

Also when we got the car they told us we couldnt get fog lamps, is there a place where I can get them now?

And I wont tell you all about how long it took me to figure out how to put fuel it..
