Yep, a few European car makes that get imported here to the US still come with those rear mounted fog lamps, which are usually red and just as bright as a brake light. My Volvo 850 has one, and a switch on the dash for it. Off the top of my head I know Porsches and Audis have them also. It's only supposed to be on one side though, if it were on both people would think you had your brake lights on all the time. On the Volvo forum I frequent, a guy rigged up a second rear fog light on the other side, I guess having only one upset his sense of symmetry and balance. He got pulled over for it, the cop told him he needed to get his brake lights checked because they were on all the time.
I wonder sometimes why manufacturers still put high beams on cars, there's so much traffic in my area I could count on one hand how many times I've had the chance to use them in a year. All they seem to be good for these days is visual horn, like flashing someone when there's a cop down the road.
