rear fog light. It's pretty common on European cars

It is a hazardous weather light. Many Euro cars have them. It may be that someone replaced the bulb with the wrong one too. Some are parking only(dim) brake only (bright) or a combination of both (dual fil).

oo and this option is available for the 04-05 sedans. (don't know about the wagon) I bought the switch for a buddy of mine last time I was in Japan.

I don't recall off the top of my head but the subie bulbs are dual fil and they are prepped for them.

It really shouldn't be that hard. Wire a switch to a relay that powers the feed to one of you rear brake lights. Pretty simple actually.
