You do if you buy a German car. Even US spec ones have rear fogs.

Yup my mini came with rear fog lights. I was amazed and confused of why we don't have more of these in the US.

Doesn't mean it's legal to drive though. The vehicle has to be legally judged roadworthy where it's being used, not where it was built.

I would expect you would have to disable/remove those rear fog lights if the laws in the US say you're not allowed to have them.

Its legal to have and use them. Its not required for american cars to have them. That doesnt mean its illegal to have them.

While not always the case, car manufacturers usually won't put things on a vehicle that aren't legal to have in the state they're selling the vehicle in, and the inverse of that is true as well, states that require items like (for example) catalytic converters on vehicles definitely have them on a car is sold in that state.
