Most if not all have a rear foglight on the drivers side taillight. This is accomplished by using the reverse light spot. for example a LHD wagon will have the left reverse left replaced by a red lens for the foglight while a RHD wagon will have the right reverse light replaced by a red lens. Other than that I'm pretty sure wiring is the same but don't quote me on that.

Note how the left side is a red lens instead of a reverse light 8)
