Ok, I'm back on the Euro Rear Fog Light which we have affectionately dubbed the "Garvey Light" after Pat Garvey who objects vehemently to anything that didn't come on the car as new. Pat has the original air in his tires I'm told! We love you Pat!
So, the mounts are the main problem when you decide to add the Factory Rear Fog Light. If you search the subject you'll find discussion of the outer being available but the inner NLA. Well, the discussion is from 2007-8 so none are available from Porsche anymore. The lights themselves are available through Just Kampers in the UK and the wiring harness can be had by contacting Jeff Bowlsby.
Here are Tom Blizznik's project drawings. Tom supplied me with the light and the outer mount. I am going to have a half dozen of the outer mounts reproduced and a half dozen + 1 (for me) of the inner mounts produced. The extras will be available through PMB Performance once they are done.
The question is, is a half dozen of each mount going to be enough? How much interest is there in this
I can volunteer a never installed ORIGINAL FACTORY REAR FOGLIGHT including the 2 metal pieces (no bolts), the rear fog light (with bulb), and a factory issued wiring harness.
I have yet to determine once and for all what switch is used and where is the switch located. Another subject to ponder.
Update on the reproduction factory mounts for the rear fog light:
I got a bid for 20 of each and it was pretty much astronomical. I had them reduce it to 10 and 10. They should be done pretty soon. Once they are done, I'll send them on to PMB and you can order them through Eric. At 10 and 10 they probably will sell out. 20 and 20 might linger. Bottom line is jump on it when I tell you they are here because they won't last long.
Hi Rob,
Good news the rear Fog (Garvey) Light installation is moving forward
I like the idea the brackets are fabricated in small quantity making it special
A little history how my Fog Light accessory got started, Wolfgang is the culprit
when I learned he had one to send me from Germany. I researched both German and US ones and learned they were somewhat different. Both are correct in my opinion, but flame me if I am wrong.
After I sourced a lot of duplicates and selected NOS items then getting the wire harness from Bowlsey I was ready to install.
I somehow got Pat Garvey's attention when I said I was drilling (3) holes into the rear panel to install. Pat had a "Hisssy Fit" and the rest is history. So that's why we call it a Garvey Accessory
History will be kind to Pat when he admits only the Kool Kids have one.
Tom
