Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

In just thinking about it, i have an answer--If you tap into the positive (powered) wire on the Fog light that works, run the wire under the carpet to the other side, and attach it to the fog light that doesnt work...then ground, you have two fog lights.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I did this mod a while ago and really love it! If you have or might buy DEPO LED taillights, read this DIY: Anti-Bling, Porsche 986 DIY's

POST 2Original post

Another outstanding writeup! Do you think it is possible to configure it so that both fog lights light up when you pull back the light knob, rather than one? I don't have the LED lights and don't plan on turning the fog lights to turn signals, but would love a weapon for those damn tailgaters!

Hmm...Its surely possible. In just thinking about it, i have an answer--If you tap into the positive (powered) wire on the Fog light that works, run the wire under the carpet to the other side, and attach it to the fog light that doesnt work...then ground, you have two fog lights.

POST 4Original post

Figured so! I think this would prove invaluable to all owners that need to escape that rare tailgater that lays just inches away from your bumper!

POST 5Original post

This is a great DIY. I have another scenario. How about wiring as a outer break light instead of a turn signal? I'm also interested in finding a amber LED bulb for the turn signal.

POST 6Original post

Nice write up, but I wish you'd used an easier to read font. Thanks.

Hi where you able to find LED signal bulbs that do not produce error message? I guess its the 1156 bulb.

I thought thats what the AOS/smoke valve was for, to produce a nice thick smoke cloud to loose your pursuers. Especially effective going into sharp turns
