Boxster Rear Foglight?
 

This is a simple question. Is it true that all Boxster's only have a left rear fog light, and no rear foglight on the right side? Thanks.

Not sure about other years, but this is true for the 2005.

It is true. There is a socket on the right side for a bulb, and a wire to it, but no power in the wire.

Well, Toolpants is correct, but mine was wired and had a hot lead to BOTH sides.

You can, however, simply run a wire from the left side to the right and power that rascal if you like.

I LOVE my twin-fog light setup. Why?

Ride my bumper on the freeway and with a tug of the light switch, you think I am braking hard when my foot is still on the fuel pedal and you'll back off quickly.

The rear fog lamp is actually only one one side due to laws in Europe. Its just a strange left over thing for us US people :)

As I have read, I don't think there is a wiring harness to the other side, so there is no point in trying to plug in a bulb :)

Randall, do you drive backwards when it's foggy to freak out other drivers coming the other way?

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 <i>tried</i> to drive backwards down the freeway, but doggonit, I'll find me a good foggy day and try it out for you :cheers:

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.
