Dear Members,

This is my new Yaris Cross got it yesterday.

I was checking rear lights,Switching rear fogs light only turn one light on?Secondly I have noticed difference between two small light just adjacent to indicators.(The one small red turned on is different than on left side which didn’t turn ?)

 

can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Thanks

Is the opposite side the reversing light?   One rear fog light is quite normal.

And one reverse light to the left.

That's all that is required - Fog on the right, Reverse on the Left or middle of the bumper

Ahan I did not know that older does used to have two rear fog lights.
 

Left side is for reversing?

It's what they call "value engineering" 🙂

All the Yaris's from the 1999 launch of the Mk1 to the current Mk4 only have 1 rear fog - on the drivers side. The passenger side has the reverse light. Quite a lot of cars have to make do with just the one fog light on the back. Causes less dazzle to motorists following behind.

Also makes it easier to see brake lights

Hmm, I've not looked but I thought my Mk4 has 2 rear fog lights - There is only a single reverse light but, unusually, it's in the middle!

And presumably, cheaper to build it that way.

According to the manual both the fog light and reverse light is in the middle on the not cross.

That's not exactly correct. My 2nd facelift Mk 3 has just the one fog but has reversing lights on both sides.

Yep, thinking about it, you could be right there - I know mine has only one of each, but my mother's 2019 one has the different type tail lights to mine so it may well have 2 reverse lights. I presume they are the 2 round innermost lights on the tailgate. The fog must still be the driver's side lower red light below the bumper?.  I stand corrected. All Yaris models up until the one I have now, only had one of each light.

Having not seen the fog light working on my mother's, could you confirm if it's the one pointed to on my picture?

Mine's an 18 so probably the same as a 19. Not as you marked anyway. The link I gave above is to my post with photos of actual illumination, so probably easiest to look at that. 

The red bits low down in the bumper/skirt are just reflectors.

These aren’t fig lights. These are light reflectors. Fog lights are built into the brake lights clusters.

Is that because its a jap import - Didn't they have supplementary fogs in the bumper. The usual UK spec Yaris Mk1 only had one fog and one reverse. There was no room in the light cluster to include 2 fog lights one on each side.

I think the world would be a better place without rear (or front for that matter) as they were introduced when rear lights were at candle level. Modern rear lights even non LED) are far superior to 1980 lights. The downside of people turning them on for light rain is far more distracting than the odd occasion they are actually needed.
