Second to atrociously bad lane discipline, incorrect use of rear foglights is my next pet hate.
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.

Have just noticed that my rear near side rear red fog light is not working. Have checked bulb - OK and fuse (A7 & C7) and both OK. Appears to be no power in bulb socket but inter-connecting multi socket in rear N/S lamp bay appears OK. I note in my 996 Essential Companion guide that not all models have both rear fogs connected depending on country of use. Could this be the case for my MY2003 C2 Coupe or should I look deeper into the wiring?
There should be no issues at all if you wire the near side to make it operable, One offside is mandatory after 1st April 1980, as you are no doubt aware lots of manufacturers fit near side and offside.
May actually be illegal Why would you want a second fog light. You can only use it in Fog (Not heavy Rain) It would also make it difficult to know if you are breaking The whole idea is that you can tell them from twin brake light it is not safe to have two fog lights working Also don't know where u live but I can only think of one trip when Ive needed Fog Lights in the last three years
Second to atrociously bad lane discipline, incorrect use of rear foglights is my next pet hate. I've never been remotely tempted to connect both, as IMO it is safer with one.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
