Rear Fog light - replaced light, still not working
 

I recently bought a 2000 Boxster S. one owner 60k miles really a very clean car.

the right rear fog light does not work, all other lights are operable on both sides.
I went to replace the bulb, and there was none in the socket. I put in a new bulb, still a no go.

question is, could it be a fuse? or just a bad socket. I dont know the electrical set up on these well but seems unlikely that this bulb would have its own fuse.

So i am thinking a bad socket - any suggestions?

fog light works only on one side, to distinguish from brake light.
that's the way it is on all European cars.

Don't feel bad, many have made the same assumption. Made more likely because there is a socket and a bulb (one part for both LHD and RHD cars). Hope you saved the bad bulb.

I did the same thing on my 98 986...then read about the European standard and then removed the bulb since that socket is dead.

Like me you now have a spare bulb.
