While replacing a bad bulb in the taillights, there seems to be one that is not used... The bentley shows only coupe lights, which are configured a little differently. Attached is a diagram from realoem.com. Is it really not used or am I just being stupid?  Anyone? __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

That would be for the unused (in the united states) rear fog light. There are some knowledge base articles about how to use that as your doubled up brake light. I tried wiring it as a fog light, but ran into some electrical issues and I didn't have to time find a more steady 12v source. __________________

Thank you for the how-to... Just did it to mine, great light boost, especially with the very black tailights on mine... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I did the same to mine. It stands out a lot more. Though I hope I pass inspection (along with my rear wiper delete). They get real picky up in Texas sometimes. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
