How do you re-wire the fog lights so they work independently of the headlights? Also, can you just change the bulb of these things (1973 style fogs), or do you need to get a sealed type of deal?

Hey Andy,
Why is it these were never put in the 914 info section? We talked about in the early days of the BBS (maybe even the test version?). The article has some excellent wiring diagrams that should be a good accompaniment to Demick's stuff. Porsche Panorama, July 1989 - Foglight rewiring article |
