That's the one.  When I cut away the plastic there isn't room for a big bulb
like the brake lights, just the wee one that are the running lights.

I've got the switch and the mountings for the fogs, but I'm guessing a
previous owner broke them or swiped 'em.  The switch has a middle setting as
well, but I don't notice a difference in the lights.  But if I park against
a wall I can see that the light from the 'fogs' are projected back.
