rear fog light should come on with the front fogs - yes?
interesting question, because many Euro 914/6 came with driving lights, not fogs...
but I don't think there's a separate switch.

Thanks for the reference to the http://www.pbase.com/9146gt website. Many photos of interesting American "restorations" or modifications. Note how many have the late version of the front foglight switch. I didnt see a clean Euro car example though.

Looking at the correct switch for the fronts, Im unclear how the rear light could be connected to that one switch. ?

Looking for Tom to tell us how he did his rear foglight electricals.

Hawk,
I have a rear fog light wiring harness still in a bag that's not installed yet. It's available to make a copy for your car. About (3) rear fog light wiring harnesses were special made by Bowlsby for individuals a few years ago. I wonder if Bowlsby still has the wiring specs to make another run??? Jeff are you listening??

Thanks Tom. What did you use for a switch? I have a correct NOS Euro Hella foglight kit that came with a switch that lights up. Wonder if these are correct for a Euro car?

Hawk,
Wolfgang is probably the guy to answer this question. He lives in Europe and has a 914-6 euro car & hangs on this forum. Wolfgang are you listening?? Need your help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Also, what's his name (Smith) in Mass. might know, he stated this whole rear fog light must have accessory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
I haven't hooked up my electrical yet, I just mounted the rear fog light for looks. It's my spring project before Parade in June.

Since you will be first, I volunteer to help you, for what it's worth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I did PM Wolfgang for a photo of his Austrian-based set up.

My 914-6 euro car has a separate switch (matches the US fog light switch). It must be wired to the low beam headlights as it will only light when the low beams are on.

Back on vacation mode, hawk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Besides, Hawk is not a wrench turner, by trade.

Wouldn't all of us like to work on our 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) while we are on vacation.

40s and 50s here

Freezing temps waiting for you when you get back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I ran one of those double spades off my switch and it works when I turn the fronts. Seemed logical to me.

unfortunately, my ex 914-6 (Euro car, from Germany) had a non original switch
from my best knowledge, the rear fog light switch had to be illuminated (by law)
the position should be right to the steering column
I've no photos of a factory original rear fog light switch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That's a positive finding with an N =1. If this is a separate green fog switch, is it mounted to the right of the lighter? If you have a heated rear window, where does it lie in relation to that?

Thanks much,
Hawk

Jeff,
Is that hooked to a rear foglight as well as the fronts? I have that for the fronts already on this 6.

euro 914-6, imported and stored since 1979.
I will go visit it and determine, If it has a switch on the right and or bolt holes for rear fog.
