Europe and think Australia and other countries run them as safety. When your on multiple lane road and changing lanes so people can see your turn signal. Here in USA they were never used or DOT required. So if your car came from maybe Canada then I wouldnt be surprised. Other wise who ever owned the car before you put them on for some reason.

IFYI Europe used rear fog lamp, its a red bright lamp used when driving in fog/foggy conditions. Search on UK ebay for S14/200sx you'll see rear bumper is totally different than USDM or JDM. Just another reason why USDM cars are plain boring and striped of cool goodies when they make them for US.And Euro Audi, BMW, Benzos, VW's have rear fog lamps in USA, some might not be hooked up.

i dont think those are the stock ones. they look aftermarket. the stock ones came in amber and white but looked a little more oval. here is a link to some in europe
