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.

I looked at a fog light switch last night, its got 3 male tabs, so apparently the harness does not connect to the switch body, I will need to look at the fuse panel and foglight relay next for the connection.

The way I think the harness connects to the light fixture is that the white/green stripe wire goes through a grommet in the tailpanel, through the hollow mounting bolt of the fixture and into a hole/screwfitting inside the foglight. This wire is pretinned on the harness.

The ground wire would have an eyelet wire terminal and mount under one of the mounting bolt/screw for the bracket, inside the trunk. Please tell me the OD of this mounting bolt so I can get the right eyelet terminal. This creates a redundant ground because the ground wire at the foglight goes back to the ground lug under the relay plate, but it has to be this way unless there is a place to mount the ground wire inside the foglight assembly.

Anyone with a foglight assembly please confirm these wiring connections!
