On the 06 wrx, there is one reverse light and one red light which you can turn on by pressing the button next to the cruise control/fog lights. Does anyone know whats it for ?

Parking light. Mainly for european conditions where there's lots of fog. They'll park with these parking lights on to make vehicles easier to see/make the roads a touch safer.

Correct me if I'm wrong - I think this is what it's for.

They are rear fog lights, not parking lights. Not much use over here, but in Europe they come in pretty handy when you can't see 10 feet in front of you!

My bad

sti's no rear fog light ftw.

Double as a parking light if I'm not mistaken though?

dont think it stays on when the cars off
park lights are above the steering column :P

Even my old 91 Lib wagon, as well as Rexy, has the rear foggie and single reverse light.

Turn it on when a dickhead in his "V8" commodore is up your ass! then drop two gears and smoke him!

I always thought they were the rear foglights. No use to us in Perth. (Unless you are one of those silly Excel drivers who drive everywhere with them on)

I always thought they were reverse lights. You turn them on to luminate the rear even tho they didnt work very well.

Its a parking light, you'll notice its only on the side of the car that would stick out into the road when u parked it.
