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, For cosmetic reasons, I'd like to replace the factory lights on the left with led running lights on the right. I have found several led light kits so my only question is, do the factory lights serve any real purpose? I did a quick check and they don't seem to contribute in any way to the turn signal lights, headlights or brights. I think these are the fog lights, but I would have no idea how to turn them on, so they're not doing me any good anyway. IS there any downside to this? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Foggers may be required in other countries. Turn the knob on, then pull it out. One click is fronts, all the way pulled out is rear. Have you checked to make sure both rears work?

POST 3Original post

Only one of my rears work.

POST 7Original post

Did this Mod within a week of buying my 987 (also had DRL's on my old 986) they look fantastic imo, There is also a modification to convert your Home switch function into a DRL switch, it takes about 10 minuets to do. Guvs.
