It’s common on euro vehicles to have a “rear fog light” that comes on when you activate the front fog lights (I was thinking aux switch). It’s like constant brake light brightness from a non-brake light location (but often in the same housing).
The point is to let help people see you as they approach, but not give the impression you’re currently braking.
People in the US love to use their hazards for this purpose
FL even has traffic signs telling people explicitly not to use their hazards for this purpose.
