and then Alex replied....

I believe the rear fog lights are installed on only one - driver side of the
car.
Fortunately, US bound BMWs do not have rear fog lights. Fortunately, because
fog is not nearly as big a problem as idiots driving around with their fog
lights ON day and night, regardless of weather. Just to show off.
And since a brightly illuminated rear fog lights looks deceptively like a
brake light from a far, you can never be quite sure if the S-type Jag you
are passing is pottering along or braking for dear life.

Now I'll add....

I recall Audi drivers being notorious for leaving the fog lamp lit.  And I
always thought they had crappy wiring!!
