Suggestion
Check your rear lights on both sides - they should both have everything needed to connect the fog lamp - the housings etc, - all you need to do is to disconnect the right one, lay the cable across to the other side (should be fairly easy) and connect it there.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi all,
I wanted to asked, how would I know if my car is a RHD to LH conversion. How could I check with the VIN? I have the 071 EU country version option code. But when I went here in Austria for a TUV inspection they noted that my light were UK and the rear foglight was on the right side as opposed to left.
How can I find out and how can I switch so that the rear foglamp is on the lest side.
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the country codes that you've both mentioned.
UK cars are C16.
Austria was C11.
These numbers are the first ones shown on the options sticker.
I don't think that there's anything in the VIN code that will tell you where the car was originally manufactured for other than for USA or for The Rest of the World.
Mine is a C98 country code car (non-specific RHD) as per the bonnet sticker but when the VIN is decoded, it has option codes M061 (version for Great Britain) and M071 (EU country version).
Probably best to check with a Porsche centre who can decode the VIN.
My Japanese import 996, while being LHD in terms of where the steering wheel is situated, had the rear fog light on the right side, also front lights needed conversion for LHD driving. And that's correct, cause it was factory equipped for Japan's RHD roads.
Check your rear lights on both sides - they should both have everything needed to connect the fog lamp - the housings etc, - all you need to do is to disconnect the right one, lay the cable across to the other side (should be fairly easy) and connect it there.
Ha all topic solved
thank you all for your support!
1. Option code 071 should mean it's prepared for E.U., I contacted the dealer he also was able to decode and it said it's a german version. The so called "landeraustattung" or "landing equipment" haha states it's germany.
As for the rear light, project complete, the cable harness was in fact different so I soldered a bypass wire from right to left.
Cheers!
As a follow up, chassis, engine and transmission as well as build codes are listed in the V-Pages and Optional Equipment at the front of the parts catalogue, but unfortunately not teh C country codes. Download from here:

Just select your model from the drop-down menu. Also, massively useful for identifying that pesky part you need.
