Fog and Driving Lights
Home Up '93 968 Cabriolet '03 VW NBC Basic 968 Info 968 Quirks How To's


The fog and driving light assembly is pretty easy to figure out, once you get past those vicious little bumperettes!  European 968's don't have these, but I'm not exactly sure what's in their place - it's orange and looks just like part of the turn signal assembly.  

What I found that works good is to take a small flat screw driver and insert it toward the top of the black cap/plug.  The side's don't have too much room, however, the top will allow the cap to be pried off the safest way to keep from damaging anything (leaving traces like scuff marks or scratches).  From there, it's best to use a 5/16 nut driver (or socket of some sort) - kind of nifty how Porsche used English sizes for this American specified bumper thing.  The fog light assembly also uses this size for the one whole bolt that's holding it in place.

The fog light assembly comes out very easily.  Remove the one bolt, then slide that end out.  The other end is held in place by a medium sized tab (protrusion to the right in this picture).  The two large Philips looking screws are for aiming, not removal.  The lights are aimed as a set, so what I found works best is to aim the fog light section for proper height (somewhere under the main head lights) and then use the driving light section to aim from side to side (line up with head lights).
