Default Late MK5 Escort Rear Fogs

Just a quickie, is it normal on a MK5 Escort (the late ones with fogs on the tailgate) to only actually have the one light wired up and the other redundant, including the bulb hole being blanked off?

whys that, you only need 1 fog for the MOT and if it saves Ford money they aint gonna do both sides.

did you know that ford saved 5p by not putting a key in the camshafts opn the zetecs, times that by about 50 million zetec engines and you got a nice saving lol

Didn't the europeans change the law so new cars are only allowed one rear foglight (on the offside)? Which is great till we/they take our cars on holiday and the working light is on the wrong side of the car!
