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) |

QUOTE 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? The white/green wire exits the body panel and immediately goes through the center of the mounting shaft of the light. When mounted to the car, the end of that shaft almost touches the body and, with a grommet on the body (which Jim says is stock) it would literally "touch" the grommet/body. Answer: Yes, that casing would be adequate as it would pass through the body and immediately enter the hollow mounting shaft of the light. It (the casing) would probably terminate in the shaft leaving just the white wire to enter the light housing. Seems perfect. |
