Default WTF! Rear Fog Light Bulb

So I am missing the rear fog light bulb on my passenger side. Now I go and pull out the drivers side, take a look at the bulb, walk into Pepboys, by the excat same bulb, and it's to big! So I take the bulb out of the drivers side, same bulb, fits into the socket on the passenger side, but it's to big to plug back into the housing, WTF!

Is there suppose to be a different sized bulb on that side? Someone help me out, this is driving me nuts.

I was under the impression that the passenger side wasn't supposed to have a rear fog. Stock anyway. I have heard of people rigging the bulb harness and wiring it to work, but as far as I know, unless the facelift models were given a passenger side rear fog, its only supposed to be on the driver's side.

That's stupid, makes it look like you've got a light out. Anyways, thanks, I'm going to take a file to that hole and enlarge it.

I think there were issues with people mistaking them for brake lights and it caused some accidents. I don't run mine usually, I just flash it to tell people to get off my ***.

I have never turned them on, I'm just **** I guess, I want a bulb in there.

I'm going to attempt to do the independent fog light mod tomorrow.
