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. Tom BTW Pat: I measured a lot before drilling the holes. Attached thumbnail(s)    Attached image(s)

Below is the photo of the end of the harness to the lamp.
A ring terminal on the ground is exactly my thought, attached to the M6 bolt inside the trunk. The white/green wire is actually pre-tinned for mounting to a single bus bar hole with a screw down like on the one style of foglight housings...Dave, you could just mount a female spade connector to the wire after feeding it through the foglight housing. Does it look like there is adequate length on the shorter section of casing around the white/green wire to make it all the way through the tailpanel grommet, into the foglight housing? I have had no luck finding anything on the facotry wiring diagrams about where to attach the harness to switched power. Someone suggested that the harness mount with a double-ended female connector or a piggyback to the foglight switch which seemed reasonable. Does that sound ok to everyone? Attached image(s)
