914 Rear Fog Lamp Installation with details & Photo's, Only winning cars have them, BLing, Bling. Options

[TJB/914]

Hi Guys,

I just finished drilling (2) 6mm holes & (1) 3mm hole in by trunk to mount my "Rear Fog Light" factory accessory. I like it, makes my car different from all the others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Here's a few pictures to show details of the U.S.A. issue rear fog lamp I installed. I got a Euro fog lamp assembly from Gustl (thanks Gustl-aka-Wolfgang) & put everything together using the satin black U.S. housing with the Euro lens because I thought it looked better. One of the brackets to mount is still available from Porsche, but the exterior bracket is NLA. The exterior bracket I got from Gustl was a surprise, it's made of stainless steel.

I'll post a number of photo's in a few days showing lots of details & differences. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Hope you guys enjoy.

BTW Pat: I measured a lot before drilling the holes.

Here's a few more photo's of the brackets. The one that goes in the trunk is still available from Porsche & it's a no brainer locating the holes.

Note, the U.S. spec housing is satin black & the Euro housing I got from Gusts was chromed. I wonder why??

maybe it has to do something with the model year?
or they used the different versions for cars with black bumpers vs. cars with chrome bumpers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


anyhow - nice work, Tom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
