I had asked the same question as Ilias a couple of weeks ago and got
the same response that Joshua gave from many different sources.
However, I think what Ilias is looking for is info on how to wire up
the rear fog lights so that you can switch it on/off seperate of the 
regular tail lights. Remember, fog lights should not be used all the
time at
night (unless you really want to keep someone off your tail), only when
the conditions demand it. In Europe, you'd be fined if you had your
fogs on in normal conditions. So far noone has come up with a setup
for having seperate on/off fogs. 

Maybe some European list member (Jeremy?) can tell us how they operate 
their rear Fogs: Through the dimmer switch or through a seperate
fog-light
switch? Don't Corrados have two settings on their fog light switches?
Is one setting for the rear-fogs?
