    The rear fog light once activated stays on , am i correct ?

    The reason I ask is several months ago I saw a 488GTB pass me with another 488GTB in a tunnel and his F1 Inspired fog light was flashing ?

    Anyone on here done that modification ?

    Would be really cool to have them flashing

    Flashing indicates "panic" braking, as opposed to "normal" braking, to alert the drivers behind.

    Indeed, but in the US, likely in violation of DOT mandates.

    No he wasn't braking but rather accelerating as we were in a Tunnel

    It would be a very simple circuit to do but I don't know if its wiring is connected to anything else.

    I do need to follow up the law here. Having front fogs on when its not foggy is a fine. Don't know if it also includes rear fogs

    I think a great solution will be to have those fog lights flash when we break, that way its an extra brake light and I don't think it will violate any laws. but who knows....
