Boxster Rear Foglight?

Then you have a weird car or someone did a 'hack.'

This is how we run the jumper wire to get both fog lights on.

Thanks everyone!

Icebox, I've never tried to drive backwards down the freeway, but doggonit, I'll find me a good foggy day and try it out for you

Toolpants, I'll go with someone who owned the car before me did a hack. The "wierd car" option is not something I'm comfortable with just yet.

Living in a Right Hand Drive country, my fog light is on the right hand side only!

I had an old MKII Golf GTI that was LHD, which I imported to the UK. I ran a wire from one side of the boot (sorry, trunk) to the other and plugged in the bulb there. Too easy :-)

I am on the UK and German Boxster boards. What is interesting is that sometimes the bulb socket that has no power to it, has a bulb in it. Confuses them because they want to know why it will not go on. So they switch fog light bulbs, and it still will not go on.

Resurrecting a 17 year old thread but have just wasted half an hour trying to figure why this bulb wouldn't light. I was replacing a brake light bulb and then found that I had a second bulb that wasn't working.

Cool! An old thread with RandallNeighbour and Tool Pants. Haven't heard from Tool Pants in decades.
