Default Rear Fog Light

I have just picked up my new focus(new to me) '03 3 door zetec. I was reading the book about the fog lights. It told me that if I turn the lights on and then pull the switch out one notch the front fog lights come on with the headlights. this it does just as the book said. it thensays if I pull the switch out one more notch the rear fog light will come on. What rear fog light??? Where is it ???? In the rear bumper I have two lights, both are reverse lights.
Can anyone tell me where the rear fog light should be. It is just a case of a blown globe ????
I picked the car up Thursday afternoon. A mate saw it Thursday night and said "It looks like sex on wheels". Felt great coming from a GT-P owner.

If both lights on the bumper are reverse lights, I dare say that the previous owner has modded it so that both are reverse lights. In stock form, only the left is a reverse light and the right is the fog.

Or if you have a factory bodykit Ford changed them both to reverse lights. Thus eliminating the rear fog lamp

I've got a '03 LR LX with a Rear Fog/Rain Light which I very rarely use (usually in very heavy rain) and in hindsight I wish I had an additional Reversing Light.

Actually Adam I quite like it now so I think I'll keep it all original.

yep, common mod, you can always reverse it back to a fog light at the rear, right rear light is the one you change back.

I dont use mine often, get some pretty decent fogs in winter and thats about it, or as Eddie said torrential rain.
