just to have a record on this board, i am in the process of installing driving lights where the fog lights go. i got some well-prepared grills from korjo. the lights mentioned in the attachment, made by Pilot, are indeed available from Auto Zone. About $45. I had the brackets made at a local shop. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Yeah, I ordered a set from Autozone too. They will go in later today. Craig said they fit in the orginal brackets if you have those.

ran out off time sunday. didn't realize i need to take off the front bumper. but the lights and the grills look nice. looks like you need the manufactured bracket so that the lights are out far enough. i used the Pilot bracket to mount the Pilot lights to the manufactured brackets

I got Pilots too:
I mounted them as far out of the grills as I could- which makes mine a paint to aim right, but its close.

Jeff,
I do not think you need to remove the valance to install lights. However, it is attached by 4 (?) screws accessible from inside the spare tire well in the trunk. Also there is a small nut/bolt (or maybe a sheet metal screw) at each end which you get from the fenderwell.

To the guys who have ordered the Pilot driving lights at Autozone, can you get me the part number off the box. Autozone told me today that they dont have the PL-193C and can't get them.

Thanks

If you can't get them from autozone, you can order them from here:

http://store.racerwheel.org/lighting-auxil...-pro-truck.html

Just scroll down until you get to the pl-193c. They are $35. So with shipping they should be about the same as autozone.

I got them from Ultimate Auto Accesories.com
They were $10 more, but shipping was $13 cheaper.
I'd rather pay a higher legitimate price than outrageous shipping.
PL-193c
And they got here in 3 days I think.

Does anybody make driving light lenses to replace the fog light lenses on the stock lights? I have already installed H3 bulbs and new seals, and my reflectors are in good shape.

I think there were driving light lenses available from Porsche. Maybe only outside US but there was a choice of driving or fog. I have seen two different white lenses for stock lights. In fact I may have some on one of my cars, not sure. Can post a pic if you like.

Does anyone know where I can buy a fog lamp switch. I see in Pelican Parts that they are not availabie. I'd like to use that switch for the driving lights so that i matches the headlamp switch.

I have a extra green fog lite switch laying around.
For Autozone to order the pilots they have to go into the Pilot catalog to look them up. Took awhile for the idiots to do it for me but they figured it out. Its not in the effin computer.

Hey Jeff,

Geoff said he had a green fog light switch available. Did you not see his reply?

Hey Geoff.

If Jeff doesn't want your switch, I'll take it. I found out after stripping my car that it is in fact wired for fogs. Somebody took them all out. I think when it goes back together, I'll install something like these Pilots.

Good morning one and all. For those of you installing Pilot lights, you can mount them using the stock original fog light brackets.
You need to enlarge the holes in the mounting bracket that is already on the Pilot light. Then you can use the stock mounting allen bolt, that means you do not have to remove the front bumper or lower front valance.
Sorry I don't have any pics, I will take some next time I install Pilot lights on one of the cars.
Also for those of you wondering, Porsche did make a clear driving light for the 914.
Check this ebay auction for a set. I had a set in my hand at LA swap meet and asked the seller how much, $550, thanks I set them back down on the table.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2458950890

Also I have a foglight switch for the 914. Let me know if interested.

I bought some Allen-type bolts hoping that I wouldn't need to remove the bumper and valence as BOXSTR suggested. Still can't get the round-end Allen key to work. I guess I'll have to remove the bumper and valence after all. Worse, someone out bid me on eBay for the fog lamp switch. Does anyone have one that I could buy?
