Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Have a 04 C4S cab and have been trying to work out how to get both fog lamps working. have had the light clusters out and cabling is the same both sides and bulbs are also working. have also swapped over the cabling from the light cluster but there appears to be bo power sent to the left side. does anyone know a fix which is simple (fuse ect) c: have tried on this and before i take it to Porsche though i would see what knowledge is out there. cheers

POST 2Original post

Only one of your fog lights is wired up due to European law. Use the 'search forum' link as I recall someone has wired up both. TB

POST 3Original post

If it helps, wired both of mine up in my Golf as it spends a lot of time abroad. drilled out the blanking plate in the light cluster and just put the bulb in. Already wired up. Wasn't aware it was illegal?! Better than foreign drivers thinking I'm a motorbike and sideswiping me in fog, I would have thought. Anyway, not looked at my 996 yet, but guess it would be similarly done.

POST 4Original post

Its not illegal to have both rear fogs working.
